Distributive property: example: 6(2x – 3) = 12x – 18
“combine like terms” means 3x + 4x = 7x. but we cannot add 3x + 4.
simplify, don’t solve for x, just simplify, write it with only one x and no parenthesis:
2(4x – 1) + 3x =

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4x – 1) + 3x = 2*4x - 2 *1 + 3x

=8x - 2 + 3x

= 11x - 2

g = (2, 2)

step-by-step explanation:

given the ratio is 1 : 1 then f is the midpoint of eg

let the coordinates of g = (x, y)

using the midpoint formula

(0 + x) = 1 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

0 + x = 2 ⇒ x = 2

similarly

(4 + y) = 3 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

4 + y = 6 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y = 2

coordinates of g = (2, 2)
