This is an expression, not an equation.

To rearrange it, you arrange the expression so that the first set of terms have a variable (letter) in common. Arrange the rest so that they follow a similar patter (see working below). Then factorise.

2pr + 6qs - 3qr - 4ps.

Select r to be the common variable for the first two terms.

So 2pr - 3qr + 6qs - 4ps

You will see that terms (now numbered) 3 and 4 have s in common. But, while with the first two, the term with p comes before the term with q, with 3 and 4, it is the other way around. So swap terms 3 and 4.

2pr - 3qr - 4ps + 6qs

Common factor of terms 1 and 2 = r, common factor of terms 3 and 4 = s:

r(2p - 3q) - 2s(2p - 3q)

and then (2p - 3q) is a common factor

so (2p - 3q)(r - 2s)

How do you solve 4x plus y equals 70?

Solve for what? Do you want to rearrange the equation for y to be a function of x? y = 70 - 4x Do you want to rearrange it as a function of y? x = (70 - y) / 4 You'll need to be more specific in exactly what you want done.


How do you factor 9 plus 6x equals x2?

Rearrange the quadratic equation to: x2-6x-9 = 0 and use the quadratic equation formula to find the values of x which are:- x = -1.2426406871 or x = 7.2426406871 When factored: (x+1.2426406871)(x-7.242406871) = 0


How many solutions are possible for 2x equals 2y plus 2 and 2y equals 2x plus 2?

There are 0, or no solutions to these equations. If you rearrange each equation to look like an equation of a line, you will have the two lines:y = x -1 and y = x + 1, which are two parallel lines. They do not intersect at any point, so there is no solution.

How many real solution exist for the equation 1.1x2 plus 3.3x plus 4 equals 6?

1.1x2 + 3.3x + 4 = 6 First rearrange the equation to equal zero so that we can use the quadratic formula. 1.1x2 + 3.3x - 2 = 0 Using the quadratic formula, the solutions are x = -3.52 and x = 0.52 Both of these solutions are real, so the original equation has two real solutions.


What are the solutions to the simultaneous equations of x square plus y square plus 4x plus 6y minus 40 equals 0 and x minus y equals 10?

Rearrange the second equation as x = 10+y and then substitute it into the first equation which will create a quadratic equation in the form of: 2y2+30y+100 = 0 and when solved y = -10 or y = -5 Therefore the solutions are: x = 0, y = -10 and x = 5, y = -5
