1.(15-5x)/(x^2-9x+18).
-5(x-3)/(x-3)(x-6) = -5/(x-6).
2. T=T1*T2/(T1+T2)
T = 40*60/(40+60)=24 min.
3. A*C = 2*(-20)-40 = 4*(-10) = 5*(-8)
B = The sum of the pair of factors that
are divisible by 2:
B = 2+(-20) = -18
B = 4+(-10) = -6
Eq1: 2x^2-18x-20 = 0
Divide by 2:
x^2-9x-10 = 0
(x+1)(x-10) = 0
Eq2: 2x^2-6x-20 = 0
Divide by 2 and factor.
