1. Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF). (There will not always be one).
2. Count the number of terms.
3. Check to be sure each factor is prime, if not, repeat 1-3.
4. Check by multiplying the factors out to see if you get the original polynomial.
1) -(5.8x14) = -406/5 = -81.2
2) (-1/3)(-1) = 1/3 = 0.3333333....
3) -2 + 1/4 / 1 + 1/2
-7/4 / 3/2
-1.75 / 1.5 = -7/6 = -1.166....7
What do you mean by “and”?????
Is it divided or add??
I’m only sure about the first one but tell me what and mean
Answer:
x = -5
Explanation:
4(2x + 10) = 0
[ Simplify both sides of the equation ]
4(2x + 10) = 0
(4)(2x) + (4)(10) = 0 [Distribute]
8x + 40 = 0
[ Subtract 40 from both sides ]
8x + 40 − 40 = 0 − 40
8x = −40
[ Divide both sides by 8 ]
8x / 8 = −40 / 8
x = -5
