Answer:
(a) Step 2. 9x -12 = 13 +2x
Step-by-step explanation:
The distributive property says a factor outside parentheses multiplies each term inside parentheses. It is an error to do addition of the factor, or to miss multiplying a term.
In Step 2 of this "solution", the factor of 3 is erroneously <em>added</em> to each coefficent inside parentheses. It should be <em>multiplied</em>.
Correct Step 2: 9x -12 = 13 +2x
__
The rest of the solution should be ...
Step 3: 9x -2x = 13 +12
Step 4: 7x = 25
Step 5: x = 25/7
___
<em>Check</em>
3(3(25/7) -4) = 8 + 2(25/7) +5
3((75 -28)/7) = 13 +50/7
141/7 = 141/7 . . . . . answer checks OK
Answer:
-11x^2+9x
Step-by-step explanation: I am assuming you want to simply the problem so I did it for you!
Gcf is the grouping of all the factors common to both groups
lcm is a group of all the factors that has all the elements of both groups
factor
20x^2y^3=2*2*5*x*x*y*y*y
60x^3y^2=2*2*3*5*x*x*x*y*y
40xy^2=2*2*2*5*x*y*y
the GCF=2*2*5*x*y*y=20xy^2
the LCM=2*2*2*3*5*x*x*x*y*y*y=120x^3y^3
