Answer:

When solving, Jacob did not distribute properly.

Explanation:

Let's talk about 5(x + 2). The correct distribution would be 5x + 10. Jacob distributed 5 into x correctly and got 5x, however he did not distribute the 5 into 2 properly. It should have been 10, however it stayed as 2.

Jacob should be more careful when distributing, and make sure to distribute into EVERY term inside the parentheses.

Write the equation for:
xenn [34]

Answer:

\frac{1}{2} x +x = 2 (x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose number is x

Following equation can be written from question statement

\frac{1}{2} x +x = 2 (x-4)

Simplifying it further

\frac{3}{2} x = 2x-8

\frac{3}{2} x -2x=-8

\frac{3x-4x}{2}= -8

-x= -16\\x=16
