I’m assuming 9? There isn’t a question so
8 trees in each row. Twenty four divided evenly by three is eight
Step-by-step explanation:
(1/12)^-2b x 12^-2b+2=12
12^-(-2b) x 12^-2b+2=12
12^2b+(-2b+12)=12
2b-2b+12=12
=1
Multiply the factors together. You should get the original expression.
For example, if we are to factor
2x^2 + 4x
we would factor as
2x(x + 2).
Check this by multiplying back in
2x*x + 2x*2 = 2x^2 + 4x
which is what we started with, so we know we are correct.
