<span>6( 5-8x) +12= -54
30-48x+12=-54 this comes from distributing(multiplying) 6x5 and 6 times -8x
30+12-48x=-54 you have to add the coefficients 30+12
42-48x=-54
-42 -42
-----------------------
-48x=-96 divide by -48
x=2</span>
Answer:
x>5
Step-by-step explanation:
30 < 6x
Divide both sides by 6,
5 < x => x>5
I'm not sure what this means. If you have choices you should list them.
(1/2)*(1/4 + 1/6) is an example of what should be given. There are two ways to solve this.
1. Use the distributive property.
1/2*1/4 + 1/2* 1/6
1/8 + 1/12 Which can be added using the LCD of 24
3/24 + 2/24 = 5/24
Method 2
Add what is inside the brackets first.
1/2 ( 1/4 + 1/6)
1/2(3/12 + 2/12 = 5/12
Now multiply by 1/2
1/2(5/12) = 5*1/(12 * 2) = 5 / 24 Same answer.

Simply move -2 to another side.

Distribute -1/3 in (x+6)
