Here’s a picture of my work. The answer is seven. Hope this helps :-)
X = 1/2 and x is also equal to 1/5
The answer is 4x + 5y.
Here, what needs to be done is to combine like terms.
- 5x + 4y + 3x - 7y - 4x + 8y
- 5x + 3x - 4x + 4y + 8y - 7y
- 4x + 5y
With the b2+b- 12 your gonna want to do this
b2+b-12
b2+4b-3b-12
which is the sum product
after doing that you wanna common the factors from the two pairs. Which is b2+4b-3b-12 then you do you parentheses around b(b+4)-3(b+4) just like that after you do that then you rewrite it in factored form b(b+4)-3(b+4) you then want to rewrite it to this (b-3)(b+4) after that your solution will be (b-3)(b+4) for the first one.
