Factor this trinomial. x2 – 8x + 15 a. (x – 1)(x – 15) b. (x – 3)(x + 5) c. (x – 3)(x – 5) d. (x – 1)(x + 15)

To factor x^2 -8x + 15, we find two numbers that multiply to get 15 and add to get -8. These two numbers can be -5 and -3. Therefore, this factors as

x^2 - 8x + 15 = (x-5)(x-3)

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1

00
