Question

how would you factor this ? 20x-8y+12?

Answer 1

each term has a common factor of \(4\) so "factor it out"
that is the best you can do

Answer 2

i.e. put a 4 outside of some parentheses
\[4(something)\]

Answer 3

so it would be 4(5x-2y+3)?

Answer 4

why yes

Answer 5

hell yes omg :D im so proud of myself

Answer 6

yeah by the end of the evening you will be an math whiz

Answer 14

once @satellite73 passes his bed-time, he can't fall asleep.

Answer 15

looks like you are doing fine on your own
what is next?

Answer 16

(x-10)(x+4)=0 @satellite73 idk how to do this //;

Answer 17

set each factor equal to zero and solve

Answer 18

for the first one you get
\(x-10=0\) and so \(x=10\)
can you do the second one?

Answer 19

i.e. can you solve
\[x+4=0\] takes on step

Answer 20

one step

Answer 21

x=4

Answer 22

nope

Answer 23

\(x+4=0\) subtract \(4\) from both sides

Answer 24

\[x+4=0\\x+4-4=0-4\\x=-4\]

Answer 25

ok so its -4

Answer 26

yes, so you get two answers \(x=10\) or \(x=-4\)

Answer 27

-4,10?

Answer 28

yup

Answer 29

solve (3x+5)(2x-7)=0 @satellite73 help please last one im almost done /"

Answer 30

ok here we go

Answer 31

set \(3x+5=0\) first and solve for \(x\)
subtract \(5\) from both sides and get
\[3x=-5\] then what?

Answer 32

if it is not clear let me know

Answer 33

ok i got that part

Answer 34

then the other side would be 2x=7

Answer 35

i mean is it clear that if \(3x=-5\) then \(x=-\frac{5}{3}\) ?

Answer 36

so it would be -5/3, 7/2?

Answer 37

yes

Answer 38

you done?

Answer 39

i failed it

Answer 40
