You can answer this question in numerous ways but one simple way is by multiplying fractions.
<span>2/3 of 24 is also 2/3 of 24/1 </span>
<span>To get the answer, you must multiply 2/3 by 24/1 </span>
<span>To do this, you multiply the numerator (the top number) by the other numerator. That is, 2 x 24 . The answer is 48. </span>
<span>Then, multiply the denominators (the bottom numbers) by each other. That is, 3 x 1. The answer is 3. </span>
<span>The answer is 48/3. But you must continue simplifying. </span>
<span>What is 48 divided by 3? 16. </span>
<span>If you do not understand it that way, think of it in a simpler way. </span>
<span>Say there are 24 slices of pieces. </span>
<span>What is one third of those 24 slices? </span>
<span>24 divided by 3 = 8. </span>
<span>Now you want TWO thirds. So all you do is multiply 8 by 2. </span>
<span>That gives you 16.

Answer:
D) 3x^2 - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Using PEMDAS;
There is no need to evaluate the part of the equation (x^2 - 8) because is no need to, as it is already in its simplest form.
We must evaluate the part of the equation continuing with, "- (-2x^2+4)," as it is not in its simplest form.
Evaluating "- (-2x^2+4)":
Step 1: Distributing the negative
Once distributing the negative symbol amongst the values within the parenthesis according to PEMDAS, we get "2x^2 - 4" as the product.
Step 2: Consider the rest of the equation to evaluate
Since the part of the equation is still in play here as it is a part of the original equation to be solved, we must evaluate it as a whole to get the final answer.
Thus,
x^2 -8 + 2x^2 - 4 = ___
*we can remove the parenthesis as it has no purpose, since it makes no difference.
Evaluating for the answer, we get,
x^2+2x^2 + (-8 - 4) = 3x^2 - 12
Hence, the answer is D) 3x^2 - 12.
