Answer:

a) 4\left(3x+2\right)-2=12x+6

b) 20b-16= 4\left(5b-4\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To simplify the expression you must:

Expand 4(3x + 2):

Apply the distributive law: \:a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac

a=4,\:b=3x,\:c=2\\\\4\left(3x+2\right)=4\cdot \:3x+4\cdot \:2

Simplify 4\cdot \:3x+4\cdot \:2= 12x+8

12x+8-2

Subtract the numbers: 4\left(3x+2\right)-2=12x+6

b) To factor the expression 20b - 16 you must:

Rewrite 16 as 4\cdot 4 and 20 as 4\cdot 5

20b-16=4\cdot \:5b-4\cdot \:4

Factor out common term 4

20b-16= 4\left(5b-4\right)

. Population Change:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto 600000-350000+100000-5000=+350000

Population:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2000000+350000=2350000

What should be done to both sides of the equation in order to solve y - 4.5 = 12.2?
maw [93]
Y - 4.5 = 12.2

your solving for y which means your trying to get rid of 4.5 so that y can equal something. The opposite of -4.5 would be +4.5, so you would add 4.5 to both sides to get 

y = 16.7

So your answer would be 

A. Add 4.5

and also dont' say your stupid because all you need is a little explanation and you'll get it, its very easy you just need to take the time to practice :-)
