<span>26.5 the way it is written but it could be asking for multiplication?</span>
If you're factoring, your answer is
(4x - 3)(4x + 5)
You'll work it out this way:
16x^2 + 8x - 15
Since there's no GCF here, you multiply the first and third terms, giving you -240. Your next step is to find two numbers that have a sum of 8 and a product of -240. These numbers are 20 and -12. Plug those in and you've got:
16x^2 + 20x - 12x - 15
From here you divide it into two binomials. These are (16x^2 + 20x) and (-12x - 15).
When you take out the greatest common factors (4x and -3), they become:
4x(4x + 5) - 3(4x + 5)
Then you group what's outside of the parentheses together (4x - 3)
And bring what's inside of the parentheses down (4x + 5).
This brings your answer to
(4x - 3)(4x + 5)

Answer: $3300 profit
Step-by-step explanation
P = 40(h) - expenses
h = 200
Expenses = 4000,325,375
P = 40(200) - (4000+325+375)
P = 8000 - 4700
P = 3300
