The second step is wrong. What should've been done is to find greatest common factor (gcf) of 1/6 and -2. This is because you cannont add together a number with a variable to a number without a variable. So get the variable by itself by subtracting 1/6 from both sides.

1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________


Turn -2 into a fraction and find the gcf of -2 and 6:

1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________

1/5x = -2/1 — 1/6 ——> 1/5x = -12/6 — 1/6
1/5x = -13/6

Then divide each side by 1/5 to get the variable by itself; remeber: when dividing a fraction by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal.

5/1 • 1/5x = -13/6 • 5/1
x = 65/6

Then, simplify

65/6} 10.83 or 10 83/100

Find f'(x) <br>f(x)=(1-2x^2)^3
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:  f'(x) = 12x  + 48x³ - 48x⁵

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x) = (1 - 2x²)³

     = (1 - 2x²)(1 - 4x² + 4x⁴)

         1 - 4x² + 4x⁴

        <u>    -2x² + 8x⁴ - 8x⁶</u>

     =  1 - 6x² + 12x⁴ - 8x⁶

f'(x) = 0 -2(6)x²⁻¹ + 4(12)x⁴⁻¹ - 6(8)x⁶⁻¹

      =     12x  + 48x³ - 48x⁵

You could use simple factoring to solve this. You would factor out a 7 and then have

7(3+4m) = A

l x w = A

w= 3 +4m
