Question 384641: Can anyone assist me with this problem? I have been stuck on this for a minute now.
Megan factored the expression as 28^2-2x+3 (7x-3)(4x-1) . But when Jacob applied the FOIL principle and multiplied out (7x-3)(4x-1) , he got 28^2-19x+3 ; thus, Megan’s solution does not appear to check. Why is that? Please help Megan to understand this better. Explain your reasoning and correctly factor the original expression, if possible. If the expression is prime, so state.
