Given expression: 1/4 (16-12x).

Solution: We can see that 1/4 is in front of paranthesis.

That represents multiplication of 1/4 with (16-12x)

In order to 1/4 with (16-12x), we need to distribute 1/4 over (16-12x).

On distributing 1/4 over (16-12x), we get

1/4 (16-2x) = 1/4 * 16 + 1/4 * (-12x).

On multiplying 1/4*16, we get 16/4 and 1/4 * (-12x) = -12x/4.

16/4 could be simplify to 4 and -12x/4 could be simplify to -3x.

So, final answer would be 4 - 3x.

Therefore, second option is our correct option, that is 4 - 3x.

Find NL. Not sure to to solve this.

Paul [167]

Answer:

NL= 2 × HI

x+24 =2 × (X+16)

x+24=2x + 32

2x-x= 24-32

x= – 8

NL=x+24 = –8 +24= 16

So ; NL= 16

Determine whether the origin is included in the shaded region and whether the shaded region is above or below the line for the g

kati45 [8]

Answer:

Option: D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

since we are given a inequality as:

$y$

Clearly from the graph of the following inequality we could see that the origin is included in the shaded region and the shaded area is below the line.

Also it could be seen that if we put the origin points i.e. (0,0) in the inequality than 0<2 and the condition is true and hence origin is included in the shaded area.

Hence, option D is true.
