An expression is shown

Question

- 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.
