What expression is equivalent to 12 - 1/2(x + 12)

1 answer:

7 0

Distribute the -1/2 to both x and 12

-1/2(x) = -1/2x
-1/2(12) = -6

12 - (-1/2x) - 6

Simplify: Note, two negatives = one positive

12 + 1/2x - 6

Simplify: combine common numbers together

12 - 6 + 1/2x

6 + 1/2x

1/2x + 6 is your equivalent expression

hope this helps

What is the value of b2 - 4ac for the following equation? 2x 2 - 2x - 1 = 0

Orlov [11]

For you to make an equation a quadratic equation, you need everything to be on one side, so you add one to both sides.

2x^2 + 3x + 0=0 

a=2, b=3, c=0 

b^2-4ac (In the next step just plug in your variables) 

3^2 - 4(2)(0) 

9 - 8(0) 

9 - 0 

Your answer=9
