That's unusual: repetition: -1/2 - 1/2.
Did you perhaps mean "Factor -1/2 out of (-1/2)x + 6?
Let's do that. Let's rewrite 6 as (-1/2)(-12).
Then (-1/2)x + 6 (-1/2)x -(1/2)(-12)
-------------- = ------------------------ = x - 1/2
-1/2 -1/2
Hope that's what you wanted. If not, please try to apply a similar approach to solving this particular problem.
Answer:
w = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the expression and compare like terms with the simplified version.
Given
wx(3y² + 6y - 2) ← distribute parenthesis
= 3wxy² + 6wxy - 2wx
Compare coefficients of like terms with
6xy² + 12xy - 4x
Compare xy² term, then
3w = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )
w = 2
Compare xy term, then
6w = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )
w = 2
Compare x term, then
- 2w = - 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
w = 2
Hence the required value of w is 2
The common denominators would be 2,8,6,1
If you factored this the outcome would be,
(q+3)(3p^2-4)
√8 is between 2 and 3, because 2²=4<8, but 3²=9>8. Also, our value is closer to 3 than to 2, so it is more than 2.5 and we have C and D options left.
Among these two numbers we find the one which is closer to √8.
C. 27=√729 ⇒ 2.7=√7.29
D. 28=√784 ⇒ <u>2.8=√7.84</u>
Hence our answer is D) 2.8
