When we factorise an expression, we are looking for simple factors that multiply to get the original expression. Usually it is very natural to factorise something like a quadratic in x. For example:
x^2 + 3x + 2 = (x+1)(x+2)
But there are other situations where factorisation can be applied. Take this quadratic:
x^2 - 9x = x(x-9)
This second example is closer to the question in hand. Just like x was a common factor to both x^2 and -9x, we are looking for a common factor to both 6b and 24bc. The common factor is 6b.
Hence 6b + 24bc = 6b(1 + 4c).
I hope this helps you :)
Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
12=x+3
Step 2: Flip the equation.
x+3=12
Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.
x+3−3=12−3
Sorry can't answer that cause you need a diagram don't you?
Answer:
-1 1/2
same as -1.5 but since you are dealing with fractions you should put it in fraction form unless told otherwise.
