Question

6+2 (x+4) = 1/2 (3-x)

Answer 1

x² - 8x + 12

Explanation:

(x - 2) (x - 6)

x² -6x -2x + 12

x² - 8x + 12
The picture shows the equation like that, so I solve it that way!

Answer 2

• 
  `\tt x ^2-8x+12`

Explanation:

`\tt (x-2)(x-6)`

Use the FOIL method:-

→
`\boxed{\bf (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd}`

`\tt x^2-6x-2x+12`

Combine like terms:-

`\tt x^2+(-6x-2x)+12`

Simplify:-

`\tt x ^2-8x+12`
