Question

An expression is shown
- 3/4 (24x - 12) = ? + ?
move a term into each blank to create an equivalent

Answer 1

Let's simplify the expression \(-\frac{3}{4} (24x - 12)\).

1. Distribute \(-\frac{3}{4}\):
\[
-\frac{3}{4} \times 24x + -\frac{3}{4} \times -12
\]

2. Calculate each term separately:
- For the first term:
\[
-\frac{3}{4} \times 24x = -18x
\]
- For the second term:
\[
-\frac{3}{4} \times -12 = 9
\]

So the expression simplifies to:
\[
-18x + 9
\]

Now we can fill in the blanks as follows:
- The two terms in the original expression can be written as:
\[
-18x + 9
\]

Thus, both blanks can be filled with \(-18x\) and \(9\):
\[
- \frac{3}{4} (24x - 12) = -18x + 9
\]
This shows the two terms you need to fill in the expression.
