2x2+5x=12, 2x+5x=7x, 12+2=14, 7x/7=14/7, x=2
One half of something plus another half of something is equal to the thing
1/2x +1/2x = x
The reduced answer would be ?/10
Question:
Factor 
(8 - x)(8 - x)
(8 + x) (8 - x)
(X + 8)(x-8)
Answer:
Option B:
is the factor
Explanation:
Given that the expression is 
We need to find the factor of the given expression.
Let us rewrite the expression as 
Since the expression is of the form
, let us use the identity 
where a = 8 and b = x
Substituting the values in the identity, then the expression can be written as

Thus, the factor of the expression is 
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
It is quite simple actually since it is simple division with the negative rules.
Just simplify the problem and use the negatives to determine if it is positive or negative. (two negatives equal a positive and one negative equals a negative)
60% of 270,000 is 162,000. 70% of 315,000 is 220,500. There is 58,500 more at the second election than the first.
