Solution

I see that you've uploaded an image containing several algebraic expressions and equations. Let me solve each one for you.

  1. (4x + 5)(3x - 2) =
    (4x+5)(3x2)=4x(3x)+4x(2)+5(3x)+5(2)=12x28x+15x10=12x2+7x10(4x + 5)(3x - 2) = 4x(3x) + 4x(-2) + 5(3x) + 5(-2) = 12x^2 - 8x + 15x - 10 = 12x^2 + 7x - 10

  2. w² - 6w - 7 = ( _____ )( _____ )
    We need to factor the quadratic: w26w7=(w7)(w+1)w^2 - 6w - 7 = (w - 7)(w + 1)

  3. m² + 8m + 15 = ( _____ )( _____ )
    Factor the quadratic: m2+8m+15=(m+5)(m+3)m^2 + 8m + 15 = (m + 5)(m + 3)

  4. x² - 49 = ( _____ )( _____ )
    This is a difference of squares: x249=(x7)(x+7)x^2 - 49 = (x - 7)(x + 7)

  5. 2x² - 10x = 0
    Factor out the common factor: 2x(x5)=02x(x - 5) = 0 Solving each factor: x=0orx=5x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 5

  6. (4x + 11)² = 0
    Take the square root of both sides: 4x+11=04x=11x=1144x + 11 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 4x = -11 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -\frac{11}{4}

  7. (2x - 5)(x + 7) = 0
    Set each factor to zero: 2x5=0x=522x - 5 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \frac{5}{2} x+7=0x=7x + 7 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -7

Summary of Solutions:

  1. 12x2+7x1012x^2 + 7x - 10
  2. (w7)(w+1)(w - 7)(w + 1)
  3. (m+5)(m+3)(m + 5)(m + 3)
  4. (x7)(x+7)(x - 7)(x + 7)
  5. x=0x = 0 or x=5x = 5
  6. x=114x = -\frac{11}{4}
  7. x=52x = \frac{5}{2} or x=7x = -7
