Question

Complete this statement

Answer 1

We have to complete the statement of

`20ax^2+25ax+15a = 5a\left ( \   \   \   \   \  \    \right )`

The left hand side is given by

`20ax^2+25ax+15a`

Now when we take GCF as 5a, then we have to divide each term of the expression with 5a. Thus, we have

`20ax^2+25ax+15a = 5a \left ((20ax^2)/(5a)+(25ax)/(5a)+(15a)/(5a)   \right )\\ \\ 20ax^2+25ax+15a = 5a\left ( 4x^2 +5x+3 \right )`

Therefore, to complete the statement we need to enter
`4x^2 +5x+3` in the box.
