Factor 20x2 + 25x – 12x – 15 by grouping.

1. Group terms with common factors.

2. Factor the GCF from each group.

3. Write the polynomial as a product of binomials.

(20x2 – 12x) + (25x– 15)
4x(5x – 3) + 5(5x – 3)

(5x – 3)(

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

i think the amount would be $140.62
