Answer 2

HAve yo ustarted the work at least?

Answer 3

i know to factor but im not sure what to do after that.

er i don't think i know how to do this
sorry XD

Answer 6

IT's alright. But you didn't have to tell us.

Answer 8

just a sec

Answer 9

I can wait.

Answer 10

I can only factor the tops im not sure how to do the bottoms.

Answer 11

The bottom left is very simple.

Answer 12

You know that the numbers produced from that equation must Add to the middle coefficient and multiply to the end coefficient, right?

Answer 13

But since their is a coefficient on the first value too, whatever numbers are produced my multiply to the result of the multiplication of the beginning and ending values.

Answer 14

So, what multiplies to 3x5, and adds to 8?

Answer 15

where did you get 3x5?

Answer 16

Teh last value multiplied by the first value. Do you have a textbook or listen in class? If you have a class which you could have listened to (I'm not judging, just making sure here).

Answer 34

\[(5x-3)(x-1)\]

Answer 35

i knew that.

Answer 36

The way you typed that made it incorrect.

Answer 37

i know. i was bein sarcastic when i said i knew that.

Answer 38

IT's hard to understand internet sarcasm. Anyways, just do the same thing for the other equation.

Answer 39

ok thank you i think i can finish it from here. Thank you so much!!!

Answer 40

Also, if, on the same fraction, you see 2 similar values (e.g. (x-1)), you can cancel both of them out, and cross them how to simplify further.

Answer 41

Yeah. Good work. BATMAN AWAY

Answer 42

thank you so much
