Factor using the x method
( please do not answer without showing work )

Answer:
[tex]5(x + 10)(10x - 3)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are factoring
[tex]50x^{2} + 485x - 150[/tex]
So:
((2•5^2x^2) + 485x) - 150
Pull like factors :
50x^2 + 485x - 150 = 5 • (10x^2 + 97x - 30)
Factor
10x^2 + 97x - 30
Step-1: Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 10 • -30 = -300
Step-2: Find two factors of -300 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 97.
-300 + 1 = -299
-150 + 2 = -148
-100 + 3 = -97
-75 + 4 = -71
-60 + 5 = -55
-50 + 6 = -44
-30 + 10 = -20
-25 + 12 = -13
-20 + 15 = -5
-15 + 20 = 5
-12 + 25 = 13
-10 + 30 = 20
-6 + 50 = 44
-5 + 60 = 55
-4 + 75 = 71
-3 + 100 = 97
Step-3: Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -3 and 100
10x^2 - 3x + 100x - 30
Step-4: Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors:
x • (10x-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors:
10 • (10x-3)
Step-5: Add up the four terms of step 4:
(x+10) • (10x-3)
Which is the desired factorization
Thus your answer is
[tex]5(x + 10)(10x - 3)[/tex]
Answer:
[tex] \displaystyle \rm 5({x}^{} + 10)( 10x - 3)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we would like to factor out the following expression:
[tex] \displaystyle {50x}^{2} + 485x - 150[/tex]
notice that, in every term there's a common factor of 5 thus factor it out:
[tex] \displaystyle 5( {10x}^{2} + 97x - 30)[/tex]
now we have to rewrite the middle term as sum or substraction of two different terms in that case 100x-3x can be considered:
[tex] \displaystyle 5( {10x}^{2} + 100 - 3x - 30)[/tex]
factor out 10x:
[tex] \displaystyle 5( 10({x}^{2} + 10)- 3x - 30)[/tex]
factor out -3:
[tex] \displaystyle \rm 5( 10x({x}^{} + 10)- 3(x + 10))[/tex]
group:
[tex] \displaystyle \rm 5({x}^{} + 10)( 10x - 3)[/tex]
and we are done!
hence,
our answer is B)
