<u>Answer:</u>

<u><em>a - 3b + 4</em></u>

<u />

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the instructions, we must apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression.

<em>* reminder</em>

<em>distributive property formula: a (b + c) = ab + ac</em>

<em />

Let's start by applying the distributive property to the expression.

\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} (2a - 6b + 8)\\\\\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} (2a) + \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} (-6b) + \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} (8)

Simplify by multiplying.

\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}(2a)+\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}(-6b)+\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}(8)\\\\a+\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}(-6b)+\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}(8)\\\\a-3b+\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}(8)\\\\a-3b + 4

Therefore, an equivalent expression to the given expression is a - 3b + 4.

6-2x=5x-9x+12 what is the value of x<br><br> its for savvas realize
Sidana [21]

Answer:like terms: 5x + -9x = -4x 6 + -2x = -12 + -4x Solving 6 + -2x = -12 + -4x Solving for variable 'x'.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 2x = 5x - 9x + 18 - 12 6 - 2x = -4x + 6 -2x = -4x 4x - 2x = 0 2x = 0 x = 0 / 2 x = 0.

Given the function f(x) = -5x + 11 + 3, for what values of x is f(x) = -12?<br> Bleaseeeeee
Nitella [24]

Answer:

x = 5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -5x + 11 + 3

Let's first simplify our first function:

f(x) = -5x + 11 + 3\\f(x) = -5x + 14

Now, we just need to set this function equal to our other given function.

f(x) = -5x+14\\f(x) = -12\\-5x + 14 = -12

Now, we can add 12 to both sides:

-5x + 14 + 12 = -12 + 12\\-5x + 26 = 0

Now, add 5x to both sides:

-5x+26 = 0\\26 = 5x\\

Finally, we'll divide both sides by 5:

26/5 = 5x / 5\\5.2 = x\\x = 5.2

Answer: x = 5.2
