Question

Simplify
(2x^2-x-15)/(2x+5)

Answer 1

Use the distributive property or FOIL.

Answer 2

as I understood:
2x^2-6x-5x-15=2x(x-3)-5(x-3)=(x-3)(2x-5)
And there I am lost because of qualms, whwther should I reverse sign(then it will be 2x+5 or to leave it and the answer will be...terrible I'd say)

Answer 3

Did I help you any Emily9?

Answer 4

Answer 5

Type where you are confused at.

Answer 6

the converting numerator:2x(x-3)-5(x-3) or 2x(x-3)+5(x-3)?

Answer 7

I am sorry. This is confusing for me too.
