Step-by-step explanation:

the area is

length × width

(3x - 2) × width = 9x² - 4

to find width we could do a real polynomial division or simply recognize the fact that

(a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²

and we see that in our area calculation we are missing the (a + b) factor.

so, width = (3x + 2)

but if you want the division :

9x² - 4 : 3x - 2 = 3x + 2

- 9x² - 6x

-----------------

0 6x - 4

- 6x - 4

----------------------

0 0

again, width = (3x + 2)

Write equation for (-6,5) and (-3,-3)

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{8}{3}x-11$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two points on a line are given as:

(-6, 5) and (-3, -3)

Now, equation of a line with two points $(x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)$ is given as:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Where, 'm' is the slope and is given as:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Now, plugging the value of 'm' in the above equation, we get:

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

Here, $(x_1,y_1)=(-6,5)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)=(-3,-3)$

$y-5=(\frac{-3-5}{-3-(-6)})(x-(-6))\\\\y-5=(\frac{-8}{-3+6})(x+6)\\\\y-5=\frac{-8}{3}(x+6)\\\\y-5=-\frac{8}{3}x-16\\\\y=-\frac{8}{3}x-16+5\\\\y=-\frac{8}{3}x-11$

Therefore, the equation of a line passing through (-6,5) and (-3,-3) is:

$y=-\frac{8}{3}x-11$

Nicholas is 12 years old and he has collected 459 trading cards. Phillip is 14 years old and he has collected 721 trading cards.

elena-s [515]

Answer: Phillip has 262 more cards than Nicholas

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are looking for how many more cards Phillip has compared to Nicholas we can subtract Nicholas' amount from Phillip's amount to see how much more he has.

721-459=262

svetlana [45]

Answer:

122.67 average

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = (every value added up)/(# of values)

Mean = (105 + 2(110) + 2(112) + 3(113) + 2(115) + 5(116) + 4(117) + 7(118) + 5(120) + 5(121) + 4(125) + 5(126) + 2(128) + 130 + 3(132) + 134 + 3(135) + 2(140) + 2(141) + 150)/60

= 7360/60

= 122.67

I had trouble understanding the data but I hope I did this right!
