Distribute the negative:
6x-3-8x-11
Combine like terms:
-2x-14
Simplify by factoring:
-2(x+7)
Answer:
7i-5
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer (usually called the 'solution') is the one and only number that 'n' can be if that equation is a true statement. Here's a suggestion of a procedure you can use to find it:
<u>1.8 + 7n = 9.5 - 4n</u>
Add 4n to each side: 1.8 + 11n = 9.5
Subtract 1.8 from each side: 11n = 7.7
Divide each side by 11 : <em> n = 0.7</em>
Y² - 12y + 32
The middle term must be written in such a way that the sum of two numbers is -12y and the product is 32y²
The two such numbers are -4y and -8y
So, we can write:
y² - 4y - 8y + 32
= y(y - 4) - 8(y - 4)
= (y - 4)(y - 8)
So, option B gives the correct answer
