b^2 - 7b + 12 = b^2 - 4b - 3b + 12 = b(b -4) -3(b - 4) = (b - 3)(b - 4)
-4b+2 = 18 -4b = 18-2 -4b = 16 b = -4
Do this: write it out 2 |2a + 4b + 8 Now what divides into all the numbers? ---------------- a + 2b + 4 answer is 2(a+2b+4)
(a - b + 2)(a + b + 2)
False. It has to be either "- 24x" or "+ 36". These would factor as (3x - 4)2 and (3x - 6)2 respectively.
ab + 4 + a + 4b factors to (a + 4)(b + 1)
b^2 - 7b + 12 = b^2 - 4b - 3b + 12 = b(b -4) -3(b - 4) = (b - 3)(b - 4)
a2 - 4a + 4
4(16a4 + b2)
(b + 8)(b + 4)
Well if it is worded right then 4xb-1+(-4)+4b=4b-1-4+4b=4b+4b-1-4=8b-5
Factors are (b - 2)(b - 2) so only solution is 2
The best plan for that particular equation would be to first subtract 15 from each side, and then apply the quadratic formula.
4b - 1 = -4 + 4b + 3first, simplify and add together what you can.4b - 1 = -1 + 4b4b = 4bbecause 4b is always equal to 4b, the answer is infinite.
-4b+2 = 18 -4b = 18-2 -4b = 16 b = -4
Do this: write it out 2 |2a + 4b + 8 Now what divides into all the numbers? ---------------- a + 2b + 4 answer is 2(a+2b+4)
