Algebra.Com's Answer #65224 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rewrite the middle term as the sum of two terms and then factor completely. 10x^2 + 19x + 6 \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "You want two numbers whose product is a*c=10*6 = 60 \n" ); document.write( "and whose sum is b=19 \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "The numbers are 4 and 15. \n" ); document.write( "So replace the 19x by 4x+15x to get: \n" ); document.write( "10x^2+4x+15x+6 \n" ); document.write( "Factor the 1st two terms and the last two terms separately: \n" ); document.write( "2x(5x+2)+3(5x+2) \n" ); document.write( "Factor again to get the answer: \n" ); document.write( "(5x+2)(2x+3) \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
