First, we need to use the distributive property to simplify the expression. So, that means we have to multiply the 4 by all of the integers and variables inside the parentheses.
If done correctly, your expression should be 6+12x-8+5
Next, we should combine all of the constant terms (just numbers without variables), also known as combining like terms.
If done correctly, your expression should be 12x+3.
This matches answer B. 12x+3
Answer:
2x-2+3x
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-2+3x
combine like terms (2x + 3x = 5x)
So 2x-2+3x = 5x-2
Answer:
3x + 2 < –7 or 3x + 2 > 7
First you subtract the two equations
x^2-2x+3-6x
You simplify that and get
x^2+4x+3 = 0
Now we solve using the quadratic formula.
We get x = -1 and x = -3.
Now we find the y values by plugging the x values into the equation.
f(x) is the same as y.
y = (-1)^2 - 2(-1) + 3
y = 1+2+3
y = 6
Now for the other x value.
y = (-3)^2 - 2(-3) + 3
y = 9+9
y = 18
So the two ordered pairs are (-1,6) and (-3,18)
