Given equation :−1/2 (x+2) + 112x = 3
We have -1/2 in front of parenthesis on left side .
It's better to remove fraction in an equation, in order make it easier to solve.
In order to remove 2 from denominator of 2, we need to multiply each and every term by 2.
Multiplying each term in the equation by 2, we get
2* −1/2(x+2) +2* 112x = 2*3.
On simplifying this step, we get
-1(x+2) +224x = 6.
Distributing -1 over (x+2), we get
-x -2 +224x = 6
Combining like terms on left side, -x+224x=223x
223x -2 = 6
Adding 2 on both sides, we get
223x -2+2 = 6+2
223x = 8
Dividing both sides by 223, we get
223x/223 = 8/223.
x= 8/223.
Answer:
f(x)= x^2+x-12
Step-by-step explanation:
FOIL
First= (x)(x)=x^2
Outer=(x)(4)=4x
Inner=(-3)(x)=-3x
Last=(-3)(4)=-12
x^2+4x-3x-12
x^2+x-12
How many 8 can we fit in 144?
Start with 8•10=80, can’t fit another 80 so
Continue with 8•5=40 we have now 80+40=120 and we need 144 so are left 24
Finish with 8•3=24
Now we can group them
Multiplication: 8•10+8•5+8•3=144
Distributive : 8•(10+5+3)=144
So 144/8=10+5+3=18
The answer is not correct
