List the factor pairs of ac for the trinomial 12x^2-5x-2.

(3x - 2) (4x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

12x² - 5x - 2

Since the first term has a coefficient, you need to multiply -2 with 12 to get -24.

Two factors that add up to -5 and have a product of -24 are -8 and 3.

12x² - 8x + 3x - 2

Rearrange the expression to find the GCF.

12x² + 3x - 8x - 2

3x (4x + 1) + (-1)2(-4x -1)

3x (4x + 1) - 2 (4x + 1)

(3x - 2) (4x + 1)

the equation for this situation is y=122+45. to solve the equation you would add 45 and 122 to get a total of 167lbs. in conclusion, grace's weight eight weeks ago was 167lbs.
