Question

amistre64 · Answer

i simple way to do these is just to make x=4 and see what the left part equals out to be

amistre64 · Answer

might wanna factor out the 2 first to make the numbers smaller tho

amistre64 · Answer

if i see it right, (-36+24)/(x-4)

amistre64 · Answer

but they might not be wanting the denominator in that

how would we prove if thats the right answer tho?

anonymous · Answer

Plugging it back into the equation?
