Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 2x+4=12
2. 2x+4-4=12-4
3. 2x=8
4. 2x/2=8/2
5. x=4
3(5j+4)
15j+12
final answer 15j+12
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x+3)=12
3x+9=12
3x=12-9
3x=3
x=1
Answer:
x= -1/2 and x=2/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Write the 7x as a difference. It'll make it easier to factor out. An example of this would be 11x-4x
Therefore, the equation would look like this: 22x^2 + 11x-4x -2 =0
Look at it as if there are two equations: 22x^2+11x and -4x-2
Factor out the greatest common factor, which is 11 from the first equation. The equation will then look like this: 11x(2x+1)
Take the GCF for the second equation as well (which is -2). The equation should then also look like this: (2x+1)
Use the numbers on the outside of each of the parenthesis to form its own equation (to factor it out). This will be 11x-2
Now we have factored! Since the parenthesis equations are the same, we know that that is also part of the equation, so:
(11x-2)(2x+1)
Solve each equation for x by equaling them both to zero
