Answer:

(x - 2)(5x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² - 12x + 4

consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 5 × 4 = 20 and sum = - 12

the factors are - 10 and - 2

use these factors to split the x- term

5x² - 10x - 2x + 4 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 5x(x - 2) - 2(x - 2) ← factor out (x - 2) from each term

= (x - 2)(5x - 2) ← in factored form

Answer:

x = 2

x = 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 5 and 4

5* 4 = 20

what 2 numbers added make -12 and multiplied make 20 at the same time?

-10 and -2 do this

5 ( x - 10/5) (x - 2/5) = 0

simplify

5 ( x - 2) ( x - 2/5) = 0

(5( x - 2) ( x - 2/5))/5 = 0/5

( x - 2) ( x - 2/5) = 0

x = 2 x = 2/5

I don't understand the substitution method?
liq [111]
It depends on what variable you are tying to solve for first. Say you are trying to solve for x first and then y on the first problem you wrote.

In substitution you solve one of the equations for example with
6x+2y=-10
2x+2y=-10
you solve 2x+2y=-10 for x

2x+2y=-10
-2y = -2y (what you do to one side of the = you do to the other)
2x=-10-2y (to get the variable by its self you divide the # and the variable)
/2=/2 (-10/2=-5 and -2y/2= -y or -1y, they are the same either way)
x=-5-y

now you put that in your original equation that you didn't solve for:
6(-5-y)+2y=-10 solve for that
-30-6y+2y=-10 combine like terms
-30-4y=-10 get the y alone and to do this you first get the -30 away from it
+30=+30
-4y=20 divide the -4 from each side
/-4=/-4 (20/-4=-5)
y=-5

now the equation you previously solved for x can be solved for y.
x=-5-y
x=-5-(-5) a minus parenthesis negative -(- gives you a positive
-5+5=0
x=0

and now we have solved the problem. x=0 and y=-5
