Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 10x(?+?)=20x+30x2 10x(?+?)=20x+30x^2 , we need to determine functions of x x such that factorization using the distributive property divides the polynomial as needed.

Step 1: Start by factoring the common term on the left side:

The expression 10x(?+?) 10x(?+?) suggests that 10x 10x should factor terms from the polynomial 20x+30x2 20x + 30x^2 .

Step 2: Distribute backward:

  • The term 20x 20x can be rewritten as 10x×2 10x \times 2 .
  • The term 30x2 30x^2 can be rewritten as 10x×3x 10x \times 3x .

Thus, using factorization, the expression becomes:

10x(2+3x)=20x+30x2 10x(2 + 3x) = 20x + 30x^2

This completes the expression and verifies the factorization is correct.

Therefore, the missing values are 2,3x 2, 3x , corresponding to choice .

Answer

2,3x 2,3x
