Simplifying
p + -4 = (-9) + p
Reorder the terms:
-4 + p = (-9) + p
-4 + p = -9 + p
Add '-1p' to each side of the equation.
-4 + p + -1p = -9 + p + -1p
Combine like terms: p + -1p = 0
-4 + 0 = -9 + p + -1p
-4 = -9 + p + -1p
Combine like terms: p + -1p = 0
-4 = -9 + 0
-4 = -9
Solving
-4 = -9
Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope I understand your "f(x) = 12 over the quantity of 4 x + 2" correctly
f(x) = 12 / 4x +2
Now so they want a f(-1), as u can see they substituted the x for - 1, therefor do that the same to the right side
f(-1) = 12/ 4(-1) + 2
f(-1) = 12 / - 4+2
= 12/ - 2
= - 6
When using distributive properties yes.
