1) distribute 2 to each term within the parentheses
2) combining like terms ( which means subtract a 6-2)
3) subtract 4 from both sides of the equation
4) divide both sides of the equation by 4
Final answer should be ( x = 1/4 )
-13>-26,this is your answer
Hope this helps.

STEP
4
:
Pulling out like terms
4.1 Pull out like factors :
12x3 - 9x2 = 3x2 • (4x - 3)
Final result :
3x2 • (4x - 3)
First way is distribute to get
-10=2y-3
add 3 to both sides
-7=2y
divide by 2 both sides
-7/2=y
y=-7/2=-3.5
2nd way
multiply both sides by 4/1
-40=8y-12
add 12 both sides
-28=8y
divide both sides by 8
-28/8=y
y=-28/8
y=-7/2=-3.5
those are 2 ways to solve
To reduce fractions to lowest terms, find the biggest number that divides evenly into <u>both</u> the numerator and the denominator. Then divide and your new fraction should be in lowest terms if you used the biggest number. This number is called the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator.
Example:
5/10 reduces to 1/2 because 5 divides into 5 once and into 10 twice.
12/15 reduces to 4/5 because 3 divides into 12 four times, and into 15 five times.
