Look for "Math Clues." Math Clues are like how many, fewer, left, and more.
How many is the total.
Fewer & Left are subtraction.
More represents add.
First distribute 3 to (x-4). that gives you 3x-12. Now your equation is x-2=3x-12. Now you subtract x from 3x. now you're equation is -2=2x-12. then add 12 to the left. You're final answer is 10.
Answer:x= 5/2 x= -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x-1)2-9
4(x2-2x+1) - 9
4x2 - 8x + 4 - 9
4x2 - 8x - 5
4x2 +2x - 10x - 5
2x(2x+1) - 5(2x+1)
(2x-5)(2x+1)
therefore, x= 5/2 x= -1/2
