C) (x – 2)(x + 2)(x2 + 4)(x4 + 16)
12(3-2x) = 84
do distributive multiplication:
12(3) + 12(-2x) = 84
36 - 24x = 84
Deduct 36 to both sides
36 - 36 - 24x = 84 - 36
-24x = 48
divide -24 to both sides
-24x / -24 = 48/-24
x = -2
To check:
12(3-2x) = 84
12(3-2(-2) = 84
12(3+4) = 84
12(7) = 84
84 = 84
The first one is the answer
Get n to one side
-1/5=-2/5n
divide both sides by -2/5
n=1/2
