55x3 - 25x2 + 44x - 20

Please show me the steps to get the answer. Thanks

Answer by solver15(27)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
so your equation is 55x3 - 25x2 + 44x - 20.
all you have to do is group them, so it will (55x^3-25x^2)+ (44x-20)
(55x^3-25x^2)
so factor out a 5x^2(11x-5)
in the second one (44x-20) you factor out 4(11x-5)
5x^2(11x-5)+ 4(11x-5)
so since they are the same product, you put your factors together
(5x^2+4) (11x-5) and then you solve if you can.=)
