Subtract (x^2+3x-4) -(4x-2x^2-3)

3 x^2 - x + -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-(4 x - 2 x^2 - 3) + x^2 + 3 x - 4

Factor -1 out of -2 x^2 + 4 x - 3:

--(2 x^2 - 4 x + 3) + x^2 + 3 x - 4

(-1)^2 = 1:

2 x^2 - 4 x + 3 + x^2 + 3 x - 4

Grouping like terms, 2 x^2 + x^2 + 3 x - 4 x - 4 + 3 = (x^2 + 2 x^2) + (3 x - 4 x) + (-4 + 3):

(x^2 + 2 x^2) + (3 x - 4 x) + (-4 + 3)

x^2 + 2 x^2 = 3 x^2:

3 x^2 + (3 x - 4 x) + (-4 + 3)

3 x - 4 x = -x:

3 x^2 + -x + (-4 + 3)

3 - 4 = -1:

3 x^2 - x + -1

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
