Question 313138: Factor 4x(x - 3)minus 5(3 - x)
Answer by texttutoring(324)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, use this trick to make the 3-x term the same as the x-3 term:
-(3-x)=-3+x = x-3
So you can turn 3-x into x-3 if you put a negative sign in front of it:
4x(x-3) - 5(3-x)
4x(x-3) + 5(x-3) [note I applied the trick here, which turned -5 into +5]
(4x+5)(x-3)
