4(q-5) = 16
help pleaseee

q = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

the key thing to understand in this problem is the distributive property. which basically means we can muliply what's on the interior of the parenthestes ( in this case q-5) by what's on the outside (4).

so 4 will distrubute to both the q and the -5

4q - 20 = 16

add 20 to both sides

4q = 36

divide both sides by 4

q = 9

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
