Question

foil back wards /6a^2-10a^2+3a-5
metal+fan help fast have to show your work

Answer 1

well can you check its -10a^2 I think it should be -10a

Answer 2

it is 10^2

Answer 3

10a^2 sorry

Answer 4

ok... so collect the like terms and you get

\[-4a^2 + 3a - 5\]

Answer 5

can you show the work to get this

Answer 6

which won't factor ....

Answer 7

like terms

\[6a^2 - 10a^2 = -4a^2\]

Answer 8

so I have know idea what foil backwards can do... as the simplified expression won't factor

Answer 9

if the question is \[6a^2 - 10a + 3a - 5\] this can be factored by grouping in pairs

\[(6a^2 + 3a) + (-10a - 5)\]

factor each pair of brackets

\[3a(2a + 1) -5(2a + 1)\]

now you can complete the factoring process.

I think my expression is the correct 1
