<span>6( 5-8x) +12= -54
30-48x+12=-54 this comes from distributing(multiplying) 6x5 and 6 times -8x
30+12-48x=-54 you have to add the coefficients 30+12
42-48x=-54
-42 -42
-----------------------
-48x=-96 divide by -48
x=2</span>
When you divide fractions, you change each to its reciprocal, then you look multiply them. Using reciprocals helps you easily solve the problem.
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, notice that we can cancel out an x in the second term. Thus:

As with the last question, change the sign to multiplication and "flip" the second term:

Multiply straight across:

Cancel the (x+1) term:

Cannot be simplified further.
