Answer:
(3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the following:
15 x^2 - 2 x - 8
Factor the quadratic 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8. The coefficient of x^2 is 15 and the constant term is -8. The product of 15 and -8 is -120. The factors of -120 which sum to -2 are 10 and -12. So 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8 = 15 x^2 - 12 x + 10 x - 8 = 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):
5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2)
Factor 3 x + 2 from 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):
Answer: (3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)
The rule is -3, then +2
24-3 = 21
21 + 2 = 23
23-3= 20
20+2= 22
22-3= 19
19+2 = 21
21-3= 18
18+2 = 20
Plug -8 in for x:
4(-8) + 5
solve:
-32 + 5
-27
Divide 4 by 6. Easier if you write it as a fraction: 4/6 This can be reduced to 2/3. This means that each person gets 2/3 of a pie equally.
To answer this question, an assumption must be made, that Eva spends 8 hours a day working. If this is the case, then Eva will complete jobs w, x, and v on day one, for a total of six hours. Since the next job (y) requires 4 hours, she will spend two hours working that day, leaving 2 more hours to go on that job. The next day she will spend 2 hours finishing job y, completing it, and finish the longest job z (hours) that day. This means she had 4 jobs on day one, and 2 jobs on day 2 for and average of 3 jobs per day.
This answer assumes an 8 hour work day, and that Eva can start a job she cannot finish that day.
