If you're wanting to translate what Emma said it would be..
6/x = -2(x-4.5)
−1
Explanation:
Let's say the set of downs starts at the 20 yard line (maybe the kicking team kicked deep, the receiving team took a knee and so play starts at the 20).
Ok - we're at the 20. First down - they advance 5 yards. So we're now at the 25. We can write that mathematically as:
20 + 5= 25
So the second play they get sacked deep and lose 6 yards. So we subtract 6:
25 − 6=19
So what's the change in yardage for the 2 plays? We are on the 19 and started at the 20, so we can write:
19 − 20= −1
and this makes sense because we know we advanced 5 and fell back 6:
+5 −6 = −1
2x+1=9
Your going to always try to leave the x variable alone.
2x+1=9
-1 -1
2x=8
/2 /2
x=4
(x^2+3x^2-10x-24)/(x+2)
(4x^2-10x-24)/(x+2)
4x^2-10x-24=0
2x^2-5x-12=0
2x^2-5x-12/(x+2)
2x=(2x^2-5x)-(2x^2+4x)>>-9x-12
2x-9=(-9x-12)-(-9x-18)
2x-9=6
4x-18=12>>4x-6
(x-4)(2x+3) is the factorization
