The answer is D.

The first step is to use the distributive property and turn 5(x-4) into 5x - 20.
You then move the twenty into the right equation by adding 20 to both sides. The final step is to move the 3x into the left equation by subtraction and then dividing both sides by 2 to isolate x. Hope this helped !!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-4) = 3x + 4

5x-20 = 3x + 4

5x-3x-20= 4

2x=4 +20

2x=24

x=12

check answer by inserting 12 for x into original equation.

5(12-4) = 3(12) +4

5(8) = 36 +4

40 = 40

What is the quotient in the polynomial form?

Oxana [17]

First step of a synthetic divison is that we need to carry down the leading coefficient. Here the leading coefficient is 2. So, carry down 2 at the bottom.

Next step is to multiply the divisor -3 with this carry down number 2. So, we have got 3*(-2)= -6 which will place atthe bottom of the next coefficient 4.

Next step is to add this column.

Now repeat the same method again till the last colum.

At the end we have got 0 after the addition. Which means the remainder is 0.

So, the quotient is 2x^2-2x+2.
