One thing wrong is there is not closing parenthasees after x+1
and also, if you multiply it out, the answer is not 8x^2-8x-16 so the factored form given is worng
the real factored out form is 8(x-2)(x+1)
that person forgot the 8 in the front
X/(-9) = 16
x/(-9) x (-9) = 16(-9)
x = 16(-9)
x = - 144
hope this helps
Question:
What is 3(x + 2) - 2(x + 1)?
Steps:
When you solve this type of equation always use the distributive property formula to solve this equation!
Formula: a(b + c) = ab + ac
So, what is 3(x + 2) ?
Also, what is -2(x + 1)?
Then, put it back into the equation for you to solve this problem.
So, this would be the new equation:
3x + 6 - 2x - 2
Then, what you want to do is put variables next to each other and the numbers next to each other so it will be easier to simplify:
3x - 2x + 6 - 2
Then, simplify:
x + 4 is the answer!
Since 3x - 2x = x and 6 - 2 = 4
Hope that helped!!
