Factor using the x method

( please do not answer without showing work )

Step-by-step explanation:

We are factoring

So:

((2•5^2x^2) +  485x) -  150

Pull like factors :

50x^2 + 485x - 150  =   5 • (10x^2 + 97x - 30)

Factor

 10x^2 + 97x - 30

Step-1: Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   10 • -30 = -300

Step-2: Find two factors of  -300  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 97.

-300    +    1    =    -299

     -150    +    2    =    -148

     -100    +    3    =    -97

     -75    +    4    =    -71

     -60    +    5    =    -55

     -50    +    6    =    -44

     -30    +    10    =    -20

     -25    +    12    =    -13

     -20    +    15    =    -5

     -15    +    20    =    5

     -12    +    25    =    13

     -10    +    30    =    20

     -6    +    50    =    44

     -5    +    60    =    55

     -4    +    75    =    71

     -3    +    100    =    97

Step-3: Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -3  and  100

                    10x^2 - 3x + 100x - 30

Step-4: Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors:

                   x • (10x-3)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors:

                   10 • (10x-3)

Step-5: Add up the four terms of step 4:

                   (x+10)  •  (10x-3)

            Which is the desired factorization

Thus your answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to factor out the following expression:

notice that, in every term there's a common factor of 5 thus factor it out:

now we have to rewrite the middle term as sum or substraction of two different terms in that case 100x-3x can be considered:

factor out 10x:

factor out -3:

group:

and we are done!

hence,

our answer is B)

8

step-by-step explanation:

to find the amount of gift bags to use all the supplies, find the gcf or greatest common factor. this is the largest number which multiplies evenly into each term.

48 has factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12. 16, 24, 48

80 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80

64 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 8, 16, 32, 64

the highest number factor they all share in common is 8. this means there will be 8 bags with 6 pencils, 10 markers, and 8 stickers in each bag.
