We can factorise this expression by grouping. First let us arrange it in this way

Let us bracket them like this:

In the first bracket portion, take x as common and in the second expression, take 2 as common.

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>

If you have any query, feel free to ask.
So she divided the 2/3 between 4 friends.
So each friend got 2/3 divided by 4, which gives:
(2/3)*(1/4) = 2/12 = 1/6
║a+9║/7=5
you multiply 7 on both sides which cancel out 7.
now it ║a=9║=35
and now it would be a+9=35 and a+9=-35 then solve it.
35-9 and 9-(-35)= 26 and -44

if you're wondering about the restriction of x ≠ -4, is due to that would make the fraction with a denominator of 0 and thus undefined.
