1/2x -9, you take half of x so multiply 1/2 times x then you subtract the 9 after due to PEMDAS ( parentheses, exponents, multiplication & division, Add & Subtract) you follow the order of operation starting with Parentheses and ending with adding or subtracting
Answer:
x = 6 possibly
Step-by-step explanation:
I am just an algebra student, but if I am correct I would appreciate a crown.
16/4 is 4, so i assumed that was the geometric pattern, so i divided 24 by 4 and got 6.
Hoped this helped.
First, factor the expression on the top. What two numbers add to get 8 and multiply to 15? 5 and 3! so the top expression factors to (x+3)(x+5). You can cancel the x+3 from the denominator and end up with x+5. Make sense?
