Question

Factor: (51t − 16t^2) − 38

Answer 1

OK. So, first you want the t^2 term to be positive, right?

Answer 2

So, you simplify the parentheses and you have -16t^2+51t-38.

Answer 3

Now you divide by (-1) and you have 16t^2-51t+38

Answer 4

Now you can factor it normally and you get (t-2)(16t-19) as your final answer.
