Given
1. 4 x 1/7
2. 12 x 2 5/6
procedure

1. The answer is 4 x 1/7 is less than 4

2. The answer is 12 x 2 5/6 is greater than 12
X=7. if you need explanation message me
Answer: 25x² - 64
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
(5x + 8)(5x - 8)
= 5x(5x - 8) + 8(5x - 8)
= 25x² - 40x + 40x - 64
= 25x² + 0x - 64
= 
NOTE: descending powers means the biggest exponent goes first, then the next biggest exponent, etc.
For example: x⁴ then x³ then x² then x then the number (which is actually x⁰)
Answer: x=1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.
Once you have simplified the expression, you get
-x-9/2x-4
But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write
x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4
So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.
