can anyone give me the correct answer and step by step to this math problems. write in lowest terms. 8z-24 divided by 4z-12. and q2-4q divided by 4q-q2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's just simplifying What do you get if you do 2(4z-12) using the distributive property?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is what I gotten 2(4z2-12z-3) with 2-3 under it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just do this, apply the distributive property to 2(4z-12)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's 2(4z)-2(12), which equals 8z-24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is what I have 2(4z-12z) with z-3 on the bottom. is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, the answer for the first one is simply 4z-12, because 4z-12 is half of 8z-24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can someone give me the step by step to 5ksquare-13k-6 divided by 5k+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First factor 5k^2-13k-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will be it 25k-55ksquare-26k-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What in the world are you doing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not no that's why I'm needing help please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Explain to me how you got that answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To factor we have to set the equation to equal zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok how do i do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The equation is 5k^2-13k-6, to set that to equal zero you simply make it 5k^2-13k-6=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to factor this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do I do with the 5k+2 on the bottom of the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I do not math is not my good subject and its hard for me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Leave the 5k+2 for later

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is why I ask for step by step to see how the problem is solved. and I thank you for helping me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if we factor that first equation we get (5k+2)(k-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So far we've got \[\frac{ (5k+2)(k-3) }{5k+2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What can you cancel out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the 5k's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The "5k+2"s actually. You can't cancel out just parts, those are complete, in parentheses. So what are you left with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

K-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you . now can you help me with q2-4q divided by 4q-q2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that q squared or q times 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

q square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, can we switch the order in q^2-4q so that it's reversed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I firgured the answer out , I cancel all out and it left me with _1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that correct what I did?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, -1. Good job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay in the first problem with the 4z-12 and the bottom is the same so do I cancel those out and write undefined.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, \[\frac{ 8z-24 }{ 4z-12 }\] And since 4z-12 is half of 8z-24, the answer is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got the answer to my own question because 2 is divisable to 8 and 24.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now can you help me with this problem x+2 divided by x-4 do I cancel the the 2 and 4 out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can anyone find the value of the variable for which the rational expression is undefined. x+2 divided by x-8
