(x)(3x - 5) = 12
3x^2 - 5x = 12
3x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
(x - 3)(3x + 4) = 0
x = 3, -4/3
The answer must be negative so the number is -4/3.

Hope this helps!

Factor out the coefficient of the variable term.

aivan3 [116]

Given:

The expression is

$\dfrac{1}{2}n-\dfrac{1}{2}$

To find:

The factored form of given expression after factor out the coefficient of the variable term.

Solution:

We have,

$\dfrac{1}{2}n-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Here, the coefficient of variable n is $\dfrac{1}{2}$ .

It can be written as

$=\dfrac{1}{2}\times n-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1$

Taking out $\dfrac{1}{2}$ as common factor, we get

$=\dfrac{1}{2}(n-1)$

Therefore, the factored from of given expression is $\dfrac{1}{2}(n-1)$ .
