ANSWER:
b) No
c) Yes
EXPLANATION:
b)
3 (-8 + 1) = 3 x -8 + 3
(3 x -8) (3 x +1) = 3 x -8 + 3 (just put left and right sides into calcu separately)
-72 = -21
Both sides are not equal and therefore it isn't a solution.
c)
3 (0.5 + 1) = 3 x 0.5 + 3
(3 x 0.5) (3 x +1) = 3 x 0.5 + 3
4.5 = 4.5
Both sides are equal and thereofre it IS a solution.
Answer:
1. x=6
2. x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
2.
<u>Written Explanation: </u>
1.
-2x(3x+9)=-54
-6x-`8=54 (Distributive property)
Add 18 to both sides
-6x=-36
Divide both sides by -6 (negative divided by a negative equals a positive)
x=6
2.
2(3x+4)-3x=35
6x+8-3x=35 (distributive property)
3x+8=35 (combine Iike terms and then subtract them 6x-3x=3x)
Subtract 8 from both sides
3x=27
Divide both sides by 3
x=9
