<h3>
Answer: C) x = 80</h3>
==================================================
Work Shown:
Let's cross multiply to get the following
14/20 = 56/x
14*x = 20*56
14x = 1120
x = 1120/14
x = 80
-------------------
As a way to check the answer, we can type 14/20 - 56/80 into the calculator and we should get 0. I'm taking advantage of the rule that if A = B, then A-B = 0. This trick is handy to check if two sides of any equation are equal to one another.
I might be wrong but it should be 1
First simplify <span>t^2-t-12, which becomes (t-4)(t+3)
now you can rewrite the expression as one term; (t-4)(t+3)(t+1)/(t+1)(t+3)
cancel out (t+3) and (t+1) which leaves the answer as (t-4)</span>
