Factor completely 8x squared plus 6x minus 5?
8x^2 + 6x - 5 = 8x^2 + 10x - 4x - 5 = 2x * (4x + 5) - (4x + 5) = (2x -1) * (4x + 5)
How do you factor 3x squared minus 8x minus 3?

What is the solution to 4x squared minus x minus 5 equals 0?
4x2 - x - 5 = 0 4x2 + 4x - 5x - 5 = 0 4x(x + 1) - 5(x + 1) = 0 (4x - 5)(x + 1) = 0 4x - 5 = 0 or x + 1 = 0 4x = 5 or x = -1 x = 5/4 o x = -1
