Lets solve the equation first:
<span> 0.5 – |x – 12| = –0.25
</span>= 1/2 - |x - 12| = -1/4
= 2 - 4<span>|x - 12| = -1
= 4|x - 12| = 3
= |x - 12| = 0.75
positive case, x >= 12
x - 12 = 0.75
x = 12.75
negative case, x < 12
x - 12 = -0.75
x = 11.25
So those are the two solutions.
These apply:
</span>1.) The equation will have no solutions.
2.) A good first step for solving the equation is to subtract 0.5 from both sides of the equation.
<span>3.) A good first step for solving the equation is to split it into a positive case and a negative case.
</span><span>5.) The negative case of this equation is x – 12 = –0.75.</span>
Times -7 by everything in the parentheses. so
-7 times 5y=-35y
-7 times -2u=14u
-7 times -5 = 35
therefore 35y+14u+35
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
(5x+6)(3x-2)
"foil" it out
F: 5x * 3x = 15x^2
O: 5x * -2 = -10x
I: 6*3x = 18x
L: 6 * -2 = -12
The answer is b. would u like to see steps or are you good?
Answer:
9*(6+7)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), to do this we have to see all the factors of 54 and 63 and find the greatest factor that they have in common.
Factors of 54
1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54
Factors of 63
1,3,7,9,21,63
The GCF is 9 because is the greatest factor that is common to both numbers.
Now we have to divide 54/9 and 63/9
54/9 = 6
63/9 = 7
So now we can write the product of the GCF and another sum:
9*(6+7)
<em>We can prove this by solving both expressions:</em>
<em>54+63 = 9*(6+7)</em>
<em>117 = 9*13</em>
<em>117 = 117 </em>
<em>The results are equal so we prove it is right.</em>
