Solve show all work.

35x^2 -38x +8

anonymous · Answer

If you want just show me the Prime Factorizations

anonymous · Answer

(5 x-4) (7 x-2)

anonymous · Answer

The original problem was this but no one would answer it. :
Megan factored the expression 35x^2 -38x+8 as (5x-2)(7x-4). But when Jacob applied the FOIL principle and multiplied out (5x-2)(7x-4), he got 35x^2-34x+8; 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.

So Megan switched the last numbers?

Yes

anonymous · Answer

Is it suppose to also be plus? (5x+4)(7x+2)

anonymous · Answer

no its supposed to be (7x-2)(5x-4)

anonymous · Answer

35x^2-28x-10x+8 
subtract -28x-10x

anonymous · Answer

you then get 38x
so it is (7x-2)(5x-4)

anonymous · Answer

-38x i mean

anonymous · Answer

(5 x-4) (7 x-2)
(5 x 7 x) + 5 x (-2) + -4 (7 x) + -4 (-2)
35 x^2 - 10 x - 28 x + 8
35 x^2 - 38 x + 8
