So here is what you would do:
lets just pretend that there is no x in the equation
so this is what the equation would look like:
first, is 4 to the power of 2=16 and now we are going to put the x back into the equation so: 4x to the power of 2, but we did the exponents so, now x is the missing number. We can use the 32 because it is the solution to the equation. So we would do 32-16=16 so the missing number is 16 so x=16
Answer: x=16
The LCD (least common denominator) is the lowest number that both denominators (12 and 5) go into. The lowest number that both 5 and 12 go into is 60. The LCD of the two fractions is 60.
We are asked in the problem to devise a polynomial equation that has a GCF of 6 which means each of the terms can be divided to 6. For example: 6*(x^2 + x+1) = 6x^2 + 6x +6. This polynomial is created by multiplying each terms by the number 6 which is distinguished by factoring.
