We will factor this quadratic expression by grouping:

2x^2 - 7x - 15

= 2x^2 - 10x + 3x - 15 replace the middle term with terms that sum to the product fo the first and last term

= 2x(x - 5) +3 (x - 5) factor two terms at a time

= (2x + 3)(x - 5) factor out the common binomial factor

So, 2x^2 - 7x - 15 = (2x + 3)(x - 5)

Factor the expression 2x^2-7x-15

First: multiply the 1st & 3rd terms to get (-30). find two numbers that give you (-30) when multiplied & (-7)/2nd term when added/subtracted. the numbers are (-10 & 3).

Sec: rewrite the expression with the new middle terms.

2x^2 - 10x + 3x - 15

Third: with 4 terms - group "like" terms & factor both sets of parenthesis.

(2x^2 - 10x) + (3x - 15)

2x(x - 5) + 3(x - 5)

(x-5)(2x+3) or, (2x+3)(x-5)

The answer is C. Shame on you college student.
Clearly (2x+3)(x-5) = 2x^2 -7x -15.

your ultimate guess will prob. be to tutor the oven off and pass away the dish in. it is going to prob lose some moisture nevertheless yet leaving in on heat is a undeniable disaster. leaving it for an hour it is going to likely nevertheless be heat. if none of this is an option upload milk and stir the only element is heat the milk a splash the microwave in case you upload it chilly the cheese will clump at the same time solid success
