Algebra.Com's Answer #181998 by richwmiller(17219)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! there are several ways to look at this but the simplest is to factor \n" ); document.write( "with 3z as the beginning of one of the factors \n" ); document.write( "we need to come up with 14 and 8 using 3 \n" ); document.write( "what are factors of 8 which can combine with 3 to make 14 \n" ); document.write( "4*2=8 and 3*4+2=14 \n" ); document.write( "let's try (3z+4)(z+2) \n" ); document.write( "that gives us 8 but not the 14 but only 10 \n" ); document.write( "let's try (3z+2)(z+4) yes (3*4) +2=14 and 2*4=8\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
