The answer would be 1/7 in fraction form , and 0.142857 in decimal form. hope this helps!
x-(x/3)=2
turn x into a fraction x/1
to get x/1 -x/3 = 2
multiply x/1 x 3/3 to get both fractions with same denominator
3x/3 - x/3
(3x-x)/3
3x-x = 2x
so now you have (2x)/3 =2
multiply both sides by 3 to get 2x = 6
divide bothe sides by 2 to get x = 3, which is the answer
<span>2x(x2 + 2x - 6)
</span>First add what is in the "(" wich is 2x+2x
<span>2x(4x - 6)
</span>Second multiply the 2x by the 4x & -6
<span>8x-12x
Now subtract the -12x from the 8x
8x-12x = -4x
