Think about it do you think it's subtraction or addition?
A^2 +a-6. You use the method of foiling where you multiply the first two terms, the the outside terms, the inside terms, then the last terms. You would do a•a, then a•-2 the a•3 then 3•-2. You would get a^2 -2a +3a -6. Then combine like terms to get your answer.
Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets use a ratio.
3:2 (12 to 8)
We need to scale the x+4 up 3/2 to be equal to 2x+1
(3/2) x+4 = 2x+1
1.5x+6=2x+1
-1.5x -1.5x
6=0.5x+1
-1 -1
0.5x=5
x=10
