Answer:
(x+6)(x-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
factor using the x-box method
Answer:
To be precise, I think it's a pattern question, where you have to add 4 to each number. I'm not very sure though.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2
3x-4=14
Add 4
3x=18
Divide by 3
x=6

<u>Errors in Algebraic Operations
</u>
It's usual that students make mistakes when misunderstanding the application of algebra's basic rules. Here we have two of them
- When we change the signs of all the terms of a polynomial, the expression must be preceded by a negative sign
- When multiplying negative and positive quantities, if the number of negatives is odd, the result is negative. If the number of negatives is even, the result is positive.
- Not to confuse product of fractions with the sum of fractions. Rules are quite different
The first expression is

Let's arrange into format:

We can clearly see in all of the factors in the expression the signs were changed correctly, but the result should have been preceeded with a negative sign, because it makes 3 (odd number) negatives, resulting in a negative expression. The correct form is

Now for the second expression

Let's arrange into format

It's a clear mistake because it was asssumed a product of fractions instead of a SUM of fractions. If the result was correct, then the expression should have been
