The figure will change by factor of 6
So basically 42=x times 64 or 42=64x where you want x to be represented as a fraction so just don't simplify as much
42=64x
divide both sdies by 64
42/64=64/64x
42/64=1x
x=42/64
simplify
42/64=21/32
the answer is 21/32 in simplest form
1. Answer x=-5
You would subtract 25 from each side of the equal sign, taking 25 away from 40 and 25 away from 25, isolating the x. So you would then have -3x=15. You would then divide each side by -3, and getting x=-5
(4x+1)(2x+3)=8x*2+12x+2x+3
= 8x*2+14x+3
