Find the values for a and b that would make the equality true. -3(2x2 + ax + b) = –6x2 + 12x – 15
a =
b=

a = - 4, b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the left side and compare the coefficients of like terms on the right side.

- 3(2x² + ax + b)

= - 6x² - 3ax - 3b

Comparing like terms with - 6x² + 12x - 15

x - term → - 3a = 12 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

                    a = - 4

constant term → - 3b = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

                               b = 5

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
