Question

How would I factor this?

20y2 + 3y - 2

Answer 1

Find multiple of 20 and 2 that when you subtract = 3
like 5 x 4 and 2x 1 ( 5x1) =5 and 4x2= 8 8-5= 3

Answer 2

Can you take it from there

Answer 3

No.

Answer 4

I'm horrible at factoring.

Answer 5

Then you have (5x+2)(4x - 1)

Answer 6

If you multiply using distributive property you should get back the first equation

Answer 7

Ohhh. That makes sense. Thanks a lot!!!

Answer 8

I used x should be y, but is the same answer

Answer 9

Yeah, that's what I figured. Thanks again!
