Answer:
-4x + 12 = 20 is incorrect. she added 12 to 20 instead of subtracting 12 from both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
It should have been, write problem
-4(x - 3) = 20
Use distributive property.
-4x + 12 = 20
subtract 12 from each side
-4x =8
divide each side by -4
x = -2
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
For every 3 cups of peanuts there are 2 cups of chocolate
9/3 = 3 so 3*2 = 6
For 9 cups of peanuts there are 6 cups of choclate
A^4 * a^6
exponent rule : x^y * x^z = x^(y + z)
so, a^4 * a^6 = a^(4 + 6) = a^10
Answer:
6x² - x - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor.
(2x - 3)(3x + 4)
= 2x(3x + 4) - 3 (3x + 4) ← distribute both parenthesis
= 6x² + 8x - 9x - 12 ← collect like terms
= 6x² - x - 12 ← in expanded form
