Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
a.) 72 ÷ 8 × 9 = 81 (we divide 72 by 8 first then multiply the result with 9)
b.) -72 ÷ 8 × 9 = -81 (it's same with a only differ by negative sign)
c.) 72 ÷ (-8) × 9 = -81 (dividing 72 by -8 will give us -9 and multiplying -9 by -9 will give the result of -81)
d.) 72 ÷ 8 × (-9) = -81 (divide 72 by 8 and it will be 9, mutliply it by -9 and again it will give -81)
e.) -72 ÷ 8 × (-9) = 81 (divide -72 by 8 and it will be -9 multiplying it by -9 will give a positive 81 since two negative signed numbers multiplied or divided gives positive result)
Answer:
add all of them and divide by 2

Answer:
x = 2
x = -3/2 or -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
For this, I would use the "slip and slide" method. LOL I know the name is cheesy, but that's what my teacher called it!
First, you "slip" the coefficent of the leading term (2) to the constant, and multiply.
The equation becomes:
x² - x - 6(2) = 0
x² - x - 12 = 0
Then, you factor this out by looking at the second and third terms. You're looking for 2 factors of -12 that would add up to -1 ( the coefficent of the second term).
Automatically, think of 3 and 4, because the difference between them is 1.
The factors must be (x-4) and (x+3) because they multiple to -12, and add up to -1.
This step is extremely important! Lol I used to forget it a lot, but make sure you divide the constant in each factor by the original number you "slipped".
It would become (x-(4/2))(x+3/2) = (x-2)(x+3/2)
With (x+3/2), you don't want to leave it as a fraction or decimal. It's equivalent to (2x+3). However, the informal form is easier to identify the value of x.
