The answer to this is for simplify the expression: x= -8
To solve we have to write 12x as 2x+10x
<span><span>x2</span>+2x+10x+20</span>
taking x and 10 as a common
x(x+2)+10(x+2)
now (x+2) is common
<span>(x+2)(x+10) answer</span>
Franco:
3x+2y=19
Caryl:
2x+4y=24
now use elimination
-2(3x+2y=19)
1(2x+4y=24)
=
-6x-4y=-38
2x+4y=24
add them together
which equals -4x=-14
divide both sides by -4
-4x/-4=-14/-4
x=7/2
we found x, so we subsitute it into the the original equation
3x+2y=19
3(7/2)2y=19
2y+21/2=19
-21/2 -21/2
2y=17/2
divide by 2 on both sides
2y/2= 17/2/2
y=17/4
so x= 7/2 and y= 17/4
