:

 ((23r2 -  12r) +  4) -  (3r2 + 5r - 1)

STEP

3

:

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

3.1     Factoring  5r2-17r+5  

The first term is,  5r2  its coefficient is  5 .

The middle term is,  -17r  its coefficient is  -17 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +5  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   5 • 5 = 25  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  25  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -17 .

     -25    +    -1    =    -26  

     -5    +    -5    =    -10  

     -1    +    -25    =    -26  

     1    +    25    =    26  

     5    +    5    =    10  

     25    +    1    =    26  

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Final result :

 5r^2 - 17r + 5

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
