~ Simplifying
4x + -3 = 2(2x + -1)
~ Reorder the terms:
-3 + 4x = 2(2x + -1)
~ Reorder the terms:
-3 + 4x = 2(-1 + 2x)
-3 + 4x = (-1 * 2 + 2x * 2)
-3 + 4x = (-2 + 4x)
~ Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 4x + -4x = -2 + 4x + -4x
~ Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0
-3 + 0 = -2 + 4x + -4x
-3 = -2 + 4x + -4x
~ Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0
-3 = -2 + 0
-3 = -2
~ Solving
-3 = -2
~ This equation is invalid, the left and right sides are not equal, therefore there is no solution.
Answer: 3x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
ab² - a²b
Step-by-step explanation:
a²b⁴ - b²a⁴ can be factored as a²b²(b² - a²) which becomes a²b²(b + a)(b - a). Since the numerator and denominator both have (a + b) and ab the final answer is ab(b - a) = ab² - a²b.
The answer would be 9! 3 x 9 = 27.
I think the answer is 176
