(x-2)(2x-3)

Explanation:

2x^2-3x-4x+6

I'll group it in a way that I can get common factor numbers.

I can see that 2 and 4 are factorable by 2 and 3 and 6 by 3

(2x^2-4x)+(-3x+6)

What do these have in common? 2 and 4 have a 2 in common and they also share an x.

2x(x-2)

Now, what does 3 and 6 have in common? a three. However, we don't usually let our x's be negative, so in order to keep it positive, extract a -3 instead of 3

so, -3/-3 = 1

6/-3=-2

Leaving...

-3(x-2)

Now, put all together.

2x(x-2)-3(x-2)

Look, what do they have in common? Exactly, both have (x-2) , simply add the terms outside the parentheses and use the same parentheses.

(2x-3)(x-2)

If you don't understand why I did this, let x-2 = y

So, you have...

2xy-3y

Factor that y.

y(2x-3)

Replace y with our original value.

(x-2)(2x-3)

Same result.

Answer from: Quest

1. in sonnet 18, the speaker wants to describe the beauty of his love, but can’t find the words to do so. the speaker says “then in mid-utterance the lay was lost” when he tries to think of the words to describe his love’s beauty. through his defeat of finding words to describe his love, he shows his love for her.

2. instead of describing how perfect his love is or comparing her to other beautiful things, he says she is average and there is nothing special about her. at the last 2 lines of the poem, the volta changes the poem by saying that even though his love is average in beauty, his love for her is special and unique. so instead of praising her throughout the whole poem, he contrasts her average characteristics with his special love for her.

3. the beloved asked the speaker to describe how he feels about her. she begins to describe what she feels but "drop the torch" and says that she can't do it because the words "hid in me out of reach." the the speaker says "nay, let the silence of my womanhood command my woman-love to thy belief" and that her silence will have to be the answer to his question.

" keyn asked. tablin looked around the dirt courtyard. he tried to peer through the shadowy arches of the flowing barrel. he even twisted in his saddle to look across the merchant's bazaar, past tents and warehouses filled with goods. "i don't know," he said. "did you leave it in your mouth? it's the only place i can think of that's big enough." keyn laughed; something got stuck in his throat half way, and he coughed for breath. "i can see you're good to go,” tablin observed as keyn struggled to clear his throat. “go get your horse yourself before i take the job and leave you to rot in the flowing barrel."
