(20x^2 - 13x + 2) ÷(4x - 1)

anonymous · Answer

$$4x-1\sqrt{(20x^2 - 13x + 2)}$$

anonymous · Answer

If you start with (20x^2 - 13x + 2) ÷(4x - 1)

The first step you will want to factor our the numerator, so lets look at:
(20x^2 - 13x + 2) we can factor this to:
(4x-1)(5x-2)
Now lets put this back in the original equation
(4x-1)(5x-2)÷(4x - 1)
so let us say (4x-1)=Y
If we have
Y(5x-2)/Y we can simplify this to get our final answer

I am not sure what you did there @telijahmed but I do not think it is correct. If they are looking to simplify.

anonymous · Answer

still the same as you @edlevin just used the kindergarden method

anonymous · Answer

So.... what do i do after that?

anonymous · Answer

If you cancel the Y as I showed above, you should be left with (5x-2) as your final answer, did you want to solve for X also or just simplify it?

anonymous · Answer

OH. Okay, i get it. thank you :)

anonymous · Answer

$$4x-1\sqrt{(20x^2 - 13x + 2)}=5x-2$$

you can also use polynomial long division to get what you see attached

you'll get the same answer of 5x - 2
