5=3(-2) +b
5=(-6)+b
+6 +6
11=b
5/68
5 can go into 68 13 times with a remainder of 3
So we add a decimal point and a zero.
Carry the 3 and zero down making 30
5 can go into 30 6 times making the answer 13.6
She was not supposed to "undistribute" and separate 3x+1 she was supposed to subtract 1 from both sides
Answer:
(x - 1)( x - 2) (x + 2) = x³ -x² -4x + 4.
Explanation:
1) Given equation:
3 5x x + 2
- ------- + -------- = ---------------
x + 2 x - 1 x² - 3x + 2
2) So, the denominators are x + 2, x - 1, and x² - 3x + 2
3) The LCD is the product of the common and non common factors raised to the greatest power.
4) x + 2, and x - 1 are already prime factors
5) Factor x² - 3x + 2
x² - 3x + 2 = (x - 2)(x - 1)
6) Then, the factors are x + 2, x - 1, and x - 2, and the LCD is the product of them:
(x - 1)( x - 2) (x + 2)
7) If you expand the products (distributive property) you get:
x³ -x² -4x + 4.
