Answer:

$x = - \frac{2}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify to:

$\frac{2(x - 2)}{7}$

Multiply both sides by 7

2(x-2)=28x

Divide both sides by 2

x-2=14x

Subtract x from both sides

2=14x-x

Simplify 14x-x to 13x

2=13x

Divide both sides by 13

$- \frac{2}{13} = x$

Answer:

$x = - \frac{ 2}{13}$

Solve the following equation for x. 12x - 8 = 40 A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 3

Anon25 [30]

Add 8 to both sides

12x = 40 + 8

Simplify 40 + 8 to 48

12x = 48

Divide both sides by 12

x = 48/12

Simplify 48/12 to 4

x = 4

50 POINTS!!! Plz show work questions are in the addon

1. Each term in this polynomial has a common factor of $3x^3$ :

$12x^6-9x^4+18x^3=3x^3(4x^3-3x+6)$

2. Not sure what the "vertical method" is, but I would guess it refers to some way of visualizing the distributive property.

$(3x-5)(2x^2+7x-3)=3x(2x^2+7x-3)-5(2x^2+7x-3)$

$(3x-5)(2x^2+7x-3)=(6x^3+21x^2-9x)+(-10x^2-35x+15)$

$(3x-5)(2x^2+7x-3)=6x^3+11x^2-44x+15$

3. You can use the same approach as in (2), or recall that $(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$ :

$(5x-4y)^2=(5x)^2+2(5x)(-4y)+(-4y)^2$

$(5x-4y)^2=25x^2-40xy+16y^2$

4. Recall that a difference of squares can be factored as $a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$ . So

$(2x^2-7)(2x^2+7)=(2x^2)^2-7^2$

$(2x^2-7)(2x^2+7)=4x^4-49$

For the bottom you see if the numbers are prime or composite
3 is prime
5 is prime
7 is prime
