Answer:
the bottom equation should be 18+30=3(6+10)
Step-by-step explanation:
6(3+10) = 18+60 which equals 78
78 does not equal 18
1/2x + 3 = 2/3x + 1....multiply everything by the common denominator of 6
3x + 18 = 4x + 6
3x - 4x = 6 - 18
-x = - 12
x = 12 <====
multiplying by the common denominator will get rid of the fractions
We are told that f(x) = x + 2. We want to find .
Squaring f(x) on one side means we square x + 2 on the other.
So,
f(x) = x + 2
(f(x))² = (x + 2)²
= (x + 2)(x + 2)
We can use FOIL to square x + 2. The first terms multiply to x², the outside terms to 2x, the inside terms to 2x and the last terms to 4.
= x² + 2x + 2x + 4
= x² + 4x + 4
So [f(x)]² = x² + 4x + 4
