  6(a -2)(7a +2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Removing a common factor of 6 can make the quadratic factors easier to find.

  = 6(7a^2 -12a -4)

We want to find factors of (7)(-4) that have a total of -12. It doesn't take much search to see they are (-14)(2), so the expression can be written as ...

  = 6(7a^2 -14a +2a -4) = 6((7a^2 -14a) +(2a -4)) . . . . rewrite 'a' term; group pairs

  = 6((7a(a -2) +2(a -2)) . . . . factor pair groups

  = 6(a -2)(7a +2) . . . . . . . . finish factoring

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
