2x+2
Work:
Factor 2x^2+10x+12: 2(x+2)(x+3)
Cancel all x+3, leaving 2(x+2)
2x+2
Answer:
x = −6
Explanation:
5x + 7y = -23
Y = -2x - 11
Substitute -2x - 11 for y in 5x + 7y = -23
5x + 7(−2x − 11) = −23
Simplify both sides of the equation
5x + 7(−2x − 11) = −23
5x + (7)(−2x ) + (7)(−11) = −23 (Distribute)
5x + −14x + −77 = −23
(5x + −14x) + (−77) = −23 (Combine Like Terms)
−9x + −77 = −23
−9x − 77 = −23
Add 77 to both sides
−9x − 77 + 77 = −23 + 77
−9x = 54
Divide both sides by -9
−9x / -9 = 54 / -9
x = -6
Remember, we can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
and distributive proeprty, reversed
ab+ac=a(b+c)
xm=x+z
minus x from both sides
xm-x=z
xm-1x
undistribute x
x(m-1)=z
divide both sides by (m-1)
Answer:
-4(3-1)+2
-4x2+2
-8+2= -6
since there is only one - and one + the answer will be negative
Answer:
A is the true answer and others are wrong
