Halp how to factor 4x-2

2(2−1)

Step-by-step explanation:

4−2

Grouping

Common factor

4−2

2(2−1)

Solution

2(2−1)

To factor, you do the opposite of what you would in distributive property. You have to find the greatest common factor, or GCF, of 4 and -2.

  4                   2

1  |  4              1 | 2

2 |  2

So the GCF is 2. Now we factor the expression.

4x-2

2(2x-1)

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
