Factor 2x^2 - 50 completely.

a) 2(x + 5)^2

b) 2(x - 5)^2

c) (x + 5)(x - 5)

d) 2(x + 5)(x - 5)

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 X's therefore there will be two sets of quotations with one X in each. Then find the multiples of 50.

Try -5 and +5 go in with the x which makes the answer C

2 ( x + 5 ) ( x − 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula,  a 2 − b 2 = (a + b ) ( a − b ) where  a = x  and  b = 5.

yes

step-by-step explanation:

so of course you want to start by plugging the 5 in which goes to 7(5)+3(5)=50 because 7*5=35 and 3*5=15 and then add them together, then plug in the 5 to the other equation as well 9(5)+5=50 because 9*5= 45 and then add 5 and so yes they are equivalent.
