To factor any term, divide by the LCF (largest common factor) of the term. For 5x2-45, the LCF is 5. 5x2-45 = 5(x2-9) It can, of course, be factored even further to become: 5(x2-9) = 45(x2/9 - 1) but when factoring, we usually don't need to go past 5(x2-9) (for example, you've figured out that x2 = 9, thus x = +/- 3.)
It's 15. 15 can divide evenly into 45.
If: 3x = 45 Then: x = 15
6/45 =2/15 because 3 goes into 6 two times and into 45 15 times.
Yes, because 8/15 = 24/45
