So for this trinomial, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of 16x^2 and a sum of 10x? That would be 8x and 2x. Replace 10x with 2x + 8x:
Next, factor x^2 + 2x and 8x + 16 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside the parentheses: 
<u>Now you can rewrite this as 
, which is your final answer.</u>
Answer:
7.5 or 15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
x-3x+6=2x-24 -- Combine like terms
-2x+6=2x-24 -- Add 2x to each side
6 = 4x-24 -- add 24 to each side
30 = 4x -- divide by 4
15/2 or 7.5 = x
Hello!
First of all, 6 and 10 are not prime numbers as they both have at least two pairs of factors (one factor pair plus one and itself).
Anything multiplied by two is even. Therefore, a) 2 counterexamples the statement. Just to show why 7 doesn't work, seven multiplied by 3 is 21, which is odd, and 7 times 7 is 49, and 7 times 5 is 35 (all prime multipliers). The only one that works is two.
I hope this helps!
7:4
or
7/4
