MY WORK

bottom right square divided by -15x+3 but that is not the right answer. please help

1 answer

Hmmm. You have

TR(-15x+3) = (-15x+3)(-2x+6)
So, TopRight = -2x+6

BC = -3(-5x+1) = 15x-3
So, BottomCenter = 15x-3

That means BottomLeft = 2x-6

TopLeft = (-2x+6)/-3 = 2/3 x - 2

So, the filled-in square is

(2/3 x - 2) (-3)(-2x+6)
(3)(-5x+1)(-15x+3)
(2x-6)(15x-3)(30x^2-96x+18)
