Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No, because $(x^2-x)/2$ does equal $x^2/2-x/2$ . Honestly, it really depends on the value of x, as it provide whether or not the expression is divisible by 2.

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two cases: Case 1: x is even, so x can be modelled as a generic number 2n, where n is a positive integer. Clearly this product is divisible by two. ... Hence, it is safe to generalise that the term x²-x is divisible by 2 for any positive integer x.

son4ous [18]

Answer:

0.44444444 or 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the value of $x$ , we can rewrite the equation replacing the variables.

$\frac{2}{3}^{2} + 3*\frac{2}{3} - 2$

Now solve. While solving, remember the order of operations.

$\frac{2}{3}^{2} + 3*\frac{2}{3} - 2 = 0.44444444$ or $\frac{4}{9}$

31 - 8a = 5 ( - 4 - 5a )

timama [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$31 - 8a = 5(-4 - 5a)$

First, on the right-hand side of the equation, let's distribute the $5$ to each term in the parenthesis:

$31 - 8a = -20 - 25a$

Now, let's move all the terms with an $a$ to the left-hand side, and everything else to the right-hand side of the equation:

$-8a + 25a = -20 - 31$

Let's combine like terms:

$17a = -51$

Finally, let's divide each side by $17$ to get $a$ by itself on the left-hand side of the equation:

$a = -3$
