Answer:

-(x + 1)(7x - 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Factor out a -1

-1(7x² - 5x - 12)

Step 2:

Think. Answer this question: "What 2 numbers multiply up to -12 and adds up to -5 while 7 is an x coefficient?". You answer should be -12 and 1.

So, <em>factor</em>.

-1(x + 1)(7x - 12)

To double check, just expand/FOIL everything and see if it is the same as the original expression.

Alarger number is 2 more than 4 times a smaller number. The larger number is also 8 more than 2 times the smaller number. 4x+2 y

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

the value of the smallest number is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the value of the smaller number is shown below:

Given that

y = 4x + 2

y = 2x + 8

Now equate these two equations

4x + 2 = 2x + 8

4x - 2x = 8 - 2

2x = 6

x = 3

Hence, the value of the smallest number is 3

The same is to be considered
