A factor is a number that can be multiplied into another number with nothing left over. The factors of 9 are 1, 3, 9.A common factor is a number that is a factor of two different numbers. The factors of 9 ar...

Multiply every term by a denominator to eliminate it;5 + 3(x+2)/(x-3) = 2(x+2)5 + 3x+6/(x-3) = 2x+45(x-3) + 3x+6= (2x+4)(x-3)2) simplify5x-15+3x+6=2x 2 -12+4x-6x8x-9=2x 2 -12-2x2x 2 -10x-3=03) use the equati...

Multiply both sides of the equation x + 2y = 13 by 4 to get 4x + 8y = 52. Subtract 4x - 3y = 8 from 4x + 8y = 52 to get 11y = 44. Divide both sides of 11y = 44 by 11 to get y = 4. Since we now know y = 4, we...

The first step is to remove the fractions in the equation, as the equation is easier to solve when there are only whole numbers.To remove the first fraction we should times the entire equation by 5 ----> ...

'x < 4' simply means that x is less than 4.2) However, x ≤ 4 means that it is less than or equal to 4. So if you have x = 3, 2, 1, 0 then the first term, 'x < 4' appliesbut if x = 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 then th...
