This can be solver by creating a small equation with x being the number and solving for x. The equation would be 8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Solve for x:
8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Distribute the 2
8+ (2x+6)=-6
Subtract 8
2x+6= -14
Add 6
2x= 8
Divide by 2
x=4
So the number you are looking for is 4
I hope this helps!
Answer:
<h2>2(-14x-4y-1) /
-28x-8y-2</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
2(3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y +4)
the 2 outside the bracket means we need to multiply everything by 2
=
6x+24y-10-34x-32y+8
now put all the like-terms together
6x-34x+24y-32y+8-10
now add them together
=-28x-8y-2
now find the HCF
2
put 2 outside the bracket and then divide every number by 2
2(-14x-4y-1)
this is as simplified it can get
