How would I use factoring to write equivalent expressions for the following expressions?

Answer:

4(a + 6)

3(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring is just rewriting an expression into the parts that multiply together to make the original...like if I had a 100 but decided instead to write 4×25 or if I had 25x I wrote 5(5x) .

If you look at your

4a + 24

You're looking for whatever is the same in both pieces (the 4a and also the 24) So there is a 4 in 4a and there is also a 4 "in" 24 (as in 4×6 is 24)

So if you pull out that 4 and throw it up front, whatever is left behind goes into a pair of parentheses.

4 (____ + ____)

4(a + 6)

This is your factored form bc if you multiply that 4 back in you'll get the original expression back again.

4a + 24

= 4(a + 6)

It's like factoring is "un-distributive" property.

Theres a 3 in 3x and also in 12

3x - 12

= 3(x - 4)

Pls help me i just need help

Step-by-step explanation:

the total cost is, of course, first the cost to buy the copier, and then the running costs per copy made.

it is really that easy.

the equations just put this into mathematical form :

A

y = 0.02×x + 800

B

y = 0.06×x + 600

please notice, we put $600 or $800 in as constant term, because these costs are the starting costs that we have, even if we never make a single copy (x = 0).

and then the total cost goes up with every copy we make.

I cannot draw here.

so, to find the number of copies where both copier systems would cost the same, means we have to say both equating deliver the same result :

0.02×x + 800 = 0.06×x + 600

200 = 0.04×x

x = 200 / 0.04 = 5000

when making 5000 copies both costs are the same.

(25+3) - 7 x 3 + (2x4)
arlik [135]

Answer:

It is not correct, the answer is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

They forgot the rule of PEMDAS, and accidentally subtracted before they multiplied. It should've gone

(25+3) - 7 x 3 + (2x4)

28-7x3+8

28-21+8

Since it's minus 21, that means it's negative, so -21+8=13

28-13=15

Did I do this correctly?

6/x= -2/18

Cross multiply. ( Multiply the numerators together ) . ( Multiply the denominators together (.

6*18= - 2*x

108= -2x

Divide by -2 for 108 and -2x

108/-2= -2x/2

x= -54

Answer: x= -54
