Here you go, it does have a solution, the answer is two.
Answer:
The -1 came from factoring.
The equation is multiplied by 8 because 8 could be pulled from 16x-8.
16 can be divided by 8 2 times and 8 can only divided by 8 once.
so factoring it makes the equation 8(2x-1)
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The Distributive property says that a(b+c) = ab+ac
In my example you distribute the value on the outside to the things on the inside
In your problem, you have a six on the outside that needs to be distributed to an a and b
1) 6 multiplied by a equals 6a giving you the first part of your answer!
2) 6 multiplied by b equals 6b giving you the second part of your answer!
Dont forget that there is a + sign in between a and b, dont drop it!
Put the two values together to get 6a+6b
Let me know if you have any further questions :)
