2u^2-5u-12/5u-20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 2u ^{2}-5u-12 }{ 5u-20 }\]

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Factorize both the numerator and denominator

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

\[\frac{ 2u^2 - 5u - 12 }{ 5u - 20 }\] = \[\frac{ (2u + 3)(u - 4) }{ 5(u- 4) }\] Based on this what is your final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2u+3/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 2u+3 }{ 5 }\]

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Correct

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Try reaching out to your teacher for a better understanding on breaking it down!

its kinda hard when i have a test at 2 and she has classes until then

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Try getting an after-school appointment. Just walk up to her and ask if she can do something after-school for you to tutor you on breaking these equations down.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at 2

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

That does not seem right. *sigh* I am very sorry for the inconvenience. Best of luck! Trust your instincts and knowledge!
