Since the problem states "a number" and again "a number", I assume it;'s the same number. Let the number be x.
12x - 9x = 3x
The difference of twelve times a number and nine times a number is three times the number.
It would have to be 3 because distance can't be a negative number.
Answer:
x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
(x)=5x+19(x)=-2x+15
We move all terms to the left:
(x)-(5x+19(x))=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
x-(+24x)=0
We get rid of parentheses
x-24x=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-23x=0
x=0/-23
x=0
Answer:
4x is the greatest common factor of those two.
Step-by-step explanation:
(-16x + 12x)
4x (-4 + 3)
4x is the GCF
Why you may ask is 4x the GCF because when you divide 4x from both you're left with -4 + 3...... you can't take out the negative from the 16 because when you check your work negative 4x times 3 gives you negative 12x which isn't the equation you started with. So positive 4x times 3 give you 12x.
Hopes this helps!!!
