You then divide the numerator(top) by the denominator(bottom)

Your answer is
We need to find two numbers that multiply to 24 (last coefficient) and add to 10 (middle coefficient). Through trial and error, the two values are 6 and 4
6 + 4 = 10
6*4 = 24
So we can break up the 10ab into 6ab+4ab and then use factor by grouping
a^2 + 10ab + 24b^2
a^2 + 6ab + 4ab + 24b^2
(a^2+6ab) + (4ab+24b^2)
a(a+6b) + 4b(a+6b)
(a+4b)(a+6b)
Therefore, the original expression factors completely to (a+4b)(a+6b)
Isn't it 1/8?
I hope this helped i think i just simplified xD
Answer:
D = 51, other = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
d = | 5 1 |
|-1 10|
D = (5 x 10) - ( 1 x -1) = 50 + 1 = 51
| 2 4|
|-3 9|
(2 x 9) - (4 x -3) = 18 + 12 = 30
Your answer will be X = 11 over 2, if that's a 2 over 5 in the beginning of the problem
