For this case we must simplify the following expression:

Simplifying the numerator, dividing all the terms by 4, we have:

We factor by looking for two numbers that when added together give -8 and when multiplied by 12. These are: -6 and -2

So, we have to:

Simplifying the denominator:
We rewrite -17x as -18x + x:

We factor the highest common denominator of each group:

We factor the polynomial by factoring the highest common denominator (x-6):

So, we have to:

Substituting in the original expression we have:

ANswer:

Answer:
2. y = 7
3. x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope 0 is when the line is horizontal.. has a constant coordinate
(-5,7) lies on the line so the x-coordinate is 7
Equation: y = 7
A vertical line has all same x-coordinates.
Since (4,-2) is on the line, every point had x-coordinate of 4.
Equation: x = 5
Answer: 2x multiplied by 3
Step-by-step explanation: 3x plus 5
6x-3(2x-3)=-3
6x-6x+9=-3
0x+9=-3
