Algebra.Com's Answer #15580 by askmemath(368)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4/3 ( 4x-2) - 2(3x+4)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "While you seem to have solved it correctly, you must realise that the above equation evaluates to some value \n" ); document.write( "i.e. 4/3 ( 4x-2) - 2(3x+4) = p where p is some value \n" ); document.write( "Now if you are multiplying this equation by 3 then the value of p also needs to be multiplied by 3 thus giving you 3p as the answer \n" ); document.write( "If you are multiplying by X on the Left Hand Side you also have to multiply by X on the Right hand side. \n" ); document.write( " |
