Answer:
<h2>x = -1.5 or x = 4</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:

2x(y-z)+x(y+z)
2xy-2xz+xy+xz
like terms.(2xy+xy=3xy)(-2xz+xz=-xz)
=3xy-xz
That's <u>always</u> true if <em>either</em> the exponent <em>or </em>the base is less than ' 1 '.
(But not always of they both are.)
12 is equivalent to 24/2, 36/3, 144/12
