Given the trinomial, what is the value of the coefficient 'b' in the factored form?
2x2 − 12xy − 32y2 = 2(x − 8y)(x + by)
b=
numerical answers expected!

B is related to the last term of trinomial

Last term on the left hand side of the equation = Last term on the right hand side of the equation.

The last term on the right hand side is gotten by multiplying all the terms on the right of the two expression.

-32y²=  2*-8y*By

-32y² = -16By²        Compare both

32 = 16B

16B = 32

B = 32/16

B = 2.

The answer simplified would be. -6300x

There is 240 red cars and there is 400 blue cars because 240/3=80 and 80*5=400
