Factor 3x^2 - 10x - 8. a) (x - 4)(3x + 2) b) (3x + 4)(x - 2) c) (3x - 4)(x + 2) d) (3x - 2)(x - 4)

(3x +2) (x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² - 10x -8

3x² - (12x - 2x) -8

3x² - 12x + 2x -8

3x (x - 4) +2 (x - 4)

(3x +2) (x - 4)

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
