Using V = lwh , find an expression in factored form for the volume of this prism. Explain the general steps you used to arrive at this answer.

Answer:
V = 6x²(2x - 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the dimensions, that is
24x² + 6x = 6x(4x + 1) ← common factor of 6x
x² - x = x(x - 1) ← common factor of x
The product lwh can now be written
V = [tex]\frac{6x(4x+1)}{x-1}[/tex] × (2x - 5) × [tex]\frac{x(x-1)}{4x+1}[/tex]
Cancel the factors (4x + 1) and (x - 1) from the numerators/ denominators
V = 6x × x × (2x - 5) = 6x²(2x - 5) ← in factored form
Answer:
Write 2x – 5 over 1.
Factor numerators and denominators, when possible
Divide out common factors to simplify.
Determine that the volume is (x)(6x)(2x – 5).
