Answer:
The difference of 8 times a number r and 12 is solved for a number r and is given by 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given problem is the difference of 8 times a number r and 12
It can be written as

To simplify the above expression :
8r-12

( using addition property of equality )

(using division property of equality )

Therefore 
Therefore the difference of 8 times a number r and 12 is solved for a number r and is given by 
Answer:
x^2 y^12
Step-by-step explanation:
( x ^ 1/2 * y ^3 ) ^ 4
A power raised to a power has the exponents multiplied
a^b^c = a^ (b*c)
x^ 1/2 ^ 4 * y^3^4
x^(1/2*4) * y^(3*4)
x^2 y^12
6x² + 2x - 20 = 0
3(2x² + x - 10) = 0
3[(2x² - 4x + 5x - 10)] = 0
3[2x(x - 2) + 5(x - 2)] = 0
3(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0
3=0, 2x + 5 = 0, x - 2 = 0 (Note: 3=0 is false so disregard that equation)
x =
, x = 2
Answer: x = {
, 2}
