To factor an expression, first you have to find the GCF or Greatest Common Factor of all of the pieces of the expression.
The GCF of 2y^2 and -4y is 2y
So, to factor this expression, we need to divide all of the pieces of the expression by the GCF.
2y(y-2)
2y^2 - 4y in completely factored form is 2y(y-2)
The ratio from tomatoes to pepper plants is 5:2
Meaning there are 5 tomatoes and 2 pepper plants
In order to find a ratio where there are 6 more tomatoes than pepper plants you will have to multiply.
-----
When the ratio 5:2 is multiplied by 2
it equals 10:4
We can stop here because it is shown that now there are 6 more tomatoes than pepper plants.
-----
So there are:
10 tomatoes
and
4 pepper plants!
The variables are x and y. The constant is 250. The coefficients are 14 and 3
