The expression "12 minus x" represents the subtraction of the variable x from the number 12. The result of this subtraction will depend on the specific value of x. For example, if x is 5, then 12 minus 5 equals 7. In general, the result of the expression "12 minus x" can be simplified to "12 - x."
Just write it as "12 - x". You can't simplify that, and you can only calculate its value if you know the value of "x".
The expression x2 + 1x - 12 can be factored out as (x - 3)(x + 4)
it is equal to +x
x = ? 42 = x squared minus x
-9
I assume you wanted this factored: (x+6)(x-2)
