Answer: −(b+4)(2b−3)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Factor out the negative sign.
−(2b^2+5b−12)
2. Split the second term in 2b^2+5b−12 into two terms.
−(2b^2+8b−3b−12)
3.Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
−(2b(b+4)−3(b+4))
4. Factor out the common term b+4b+4b+4.
−(b+4)(2b−3)

3/5 + 7/10 / 7/12 - 3/10
13/10 / (35/60 - 18/60=)17/60
10/13 x 60/17 = 78/17 = 4 10/17
