Answer: This expression is equivalent to -36x+9.

Step-by-step explanation: We have to multiply through out by -12 in order to remove the brackets and then write the answer.

=12(3x-3/4)

= -36x+9

Answer:

An equivalent expression is

-36(x-1/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

This problem bothers factorization of linear expression

Step two

Given the expression

-12(3x-3/4)

Step three

We can actually factor out some figures from the terms in the bracket

Say we factor out 3 we have

-12*3(x-1/4)

-36(x-1/4)

Hence the equivalent expression to

-12(3x-3/4)

is - 36(x-1/4)

The line passes through (9,8) and is perpendicular to x-2y=-16

pickupchik [31]

The equation of line perpendicular to x-2y=-16 passing through (9,8) is: y=-2x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x-2y=-16\\Adding\ 2y\ on\ both\ sides\\x=2y-16\\Adding\ 16\ on\ both\ sides\\x+16=2y-16+16\\x+16=2y\\2y=x+16\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{x+16}{2}\\y=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{16}{2}\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+8\\$

The equation is in slope-intercept form, the coefficient of x will be the slope of given line. The slope is: 1/2

As the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

$\frac{1}{2}*m=-1\\m=-1*\frac{2}{1}\\m=-2$

Slope intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Putting the value of slope

y=-2x+b

To find the value of b, putting (9,8) in the equation

$8=-2(9)+b\\8=-18+b\\b=8+18\\b=26$

Putting the values of b and m

$y=-2x+26$

Hence,

The equation of line perpendicular to x-2y=-16 passing through (9,8) is: y=-2x+26
