Question

Rewrite each linear expression by factoring out the coefficient of the variable. (please answer all)

Answer 1

Answer:

1. x - 12

2. x - $\frac{8}{3}$

3. x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide by -1/2.

-1/2x ÷ -1/2 = x

6 ÷ -1/2 = -12

Add together.

x - 12

2. Divide by 3.

3x ÷ 3 = x

-8 ÷ 3 = -$\frac{8}{3}$

Add together.

x - $\frac{8}{3}$

3. Divide by -1.

-x ÷ -1 = x

-10 ÷ -1 = 10

Add together.

x + 10
