X is the number
sum means add
sum of half a number and 4 means
(x/2)+4
result is -16
(x/2)+4=-16
minus 4 both sides
x/2=-20
times 2 both sides
x=-40
the number is -40
A is not true :) Hope i helped!
Distributive property
a(b+c)+ab+ac
a(b-c)=ab-ac
(6z^2-4z+1)(8-3z)
move for nicety
(8-3z)(6z^2-4z+1)
distribute
8(6z^2-4z+1)-3z(6z^2-4z+1)=
48z^2-32z+8-18z^3+12z^2-3z=
-18z^3+48z^2+12z^2-32z-3z+8=
-18z^3+60z-35z+8
your answer is d because the formula is Ax+By=C
