Answer:
b. -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply
5x = 3(x - 2)
Distributive property
5x = 3x - 6
Subtract 3x from both sides
2x = -6
Divide both sides by 2
x = -3
Answer:
(3n + 4) (n-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Are you asking to factor this 3n^2 - 2n -8 ?
If so the best way to do this problem is with the X method.
top: 3*(-8)
left: factor of 3*-8 right: factor of 3*-8
bottom: -2
try the factors 4 and -6 because 4*-6 = 3 *-8 = -24
Because notice that 4 + -6 = -2
so:
3n^2 -2n - 8 can be rewritten as 3n^2 -6n + 4n - 8
We should first use Distributive property to factor: 3n^2 -6n + 4n - 8
3n^2 -6n + 4n - 8 = 3n (n - 2) + 4(n - 2)
Now we factor by grouping here : (3n + 4) (n-2)
I factored out the group (n-2)
Therefore: (3n + 4) (n-2) = 3n^2 -2n - 8
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey There!
To solve this problem we have to combine like terms
So our answer would be
(b)
Answer:
-6+m/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
195
Step-by-step explanation:
So -79 + x = 116
then x = 116 + 79 = 195
