(S + 12) + (3s - 8)
= s + 12 + 3s - 8
= s + 3s + 12 - 8
= 4s + 4
This is not possible to factor, atleast not in the format you posted it :)
But that doesn't really make sense, because if x has already been solved, then the equation makes sense, because if we substitute x into it, then we have 82-24, which is 58. I could be wrong... sooo... but I hope it helps?
The correct answer is option D.
Explanation:
Inverse variation implies negative relationship. This means that as one of the quanties being compared increases the other decreases and vice versa..
