Factor the expression 5x^2-18x+9

(5x−3)(x−3)

Step-by-step explanation:

For a polynomial of the form

ax2+bx+c, rewrite the middle term as a sum of two terms whose product is

a⋅c=5⋅9=45 and whose sum is b=−18.

5x2−3x−15x+9

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

x(5x−3)−3(5x−3)

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, 5x−3.

(5x−3)(x−3)

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.
