(a+b) + c = a + (b + c)
re-arrange the numbers - associative property of addition
Answer
Associative property of addition
For a polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c rewrite the middle term as a sum of two terms whose product is a⋅c=5⋅4=20 and whose sum is b=12.
<u>Factor 12 out of 12x.</u>
5x^2+12(x)+4
<u>Rewrite 12 as 2 plus 10</u>
5x^2+(2+10)x+4
Apply the distributive property.
5x^2+2x+10x+4
Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.
Group the first two terms and the last two terms.
(5x^2+2x)+10x+4
Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.
x(5x+2)+2(5x+2)
Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, 5x+25x+2.
(5x+2)(x+2)
I think 24 might be the answer if not its 15
Answer:
y = -14/3x + 43/3
Step-by-step explanation:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
5 - (-9) / 2 - 5
14 / -3
- 14/3
y = -14/3x + b
5 = -14/3(2) + b
5 = -28/3 + b
43/3 = b
y = -14/3x + 43/3
