A constant is any number, anywhere on the number line.
A variable is an unknown, x y z n etc
1) Distribute
2x + 28x + 21
2) Combine like terms
30x + 21
Since there are no more like terms, 30x and 21 cannot be combined. Therefore, the answer is 30x+ 21
Solve out
x^2 + 64 = 0
x^2 = -64 ( we are going to use imaginary numbers to solve)
x =

x = 8i, -8i final answers
n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers
n + 2 = 2(n + 4) - 6 |use distributive property
n + 2 = (2)(n) + (2)(4) - 6
n + 2 = 2n + 8 - 6
n + 2 = 2n + 2 |subtract 2 from both sides
n = 2n |subtract 2n from both sides
-n = 0
n = 0
n + 2 = 0 + 2 = 2
n + 4 = 0 + 4 = 4
Answer: 0, 2, 4.
