Answer:

B = 49/5 - 7a/5

A = = -5b/7 + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

7a+ 5b= 49

Solution:

<em>Solving for a:</em>

Add -5b to both sides:

$7a+5b - 5b=49 - 5b$
$7a = - 5b + 49$

Divide both sides by 7:

$\cfrac{7a}{7} = \cfrac{ - 5b + 49}{7}$
$a = \cfrac{ - 5b}{7} + 7$

Hence,a = -5b/7 + 7.

<em>Solving for b:</em>

Add -7a to both sides:

$7a+5b+( - 7a)=49+(−7a)$
$7a + 5b - 7a = 49 - 7a$
$5b = 49 - 7a$

Divide both sides by 5:

$\cfrac{5b}{5} = \cfrac{49 - 7a}{5}$
$b = \cfrac{49}{5} - \cfrac{7a}{5}$

Hence,b = 49/5 - 7a/5.

What is the expansion of (3+x)^4

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

$\left(3+x\right)^4:\quad x^4+12x^3+54x^2+108x+81$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\left(3+x\right)^4$

Lets determine the expansion of the expression

$\left(3+x\right)^4$

$\mathrm{Apply\:binomial\:theorem}:\quad \left(a+b\right)^n=\sum _{i=0}^n\binom{n}{i}a^{\left(n-i\right)}b^i$

$a=3,\:\:b=x$

$=\sum _{i=0}^4\binom{4}{i}\cdot \:3^{\left(4-i\right)}x^i$

Expanding summation

$\binom{n}{i}=\frac{n!}{i!\left(n-i\right)!}$

$i=0\quad :\quad \frac{4!}{0!\left(4-0\right)!}3^4x^0$

$i=1\quad :\quad \frac{4!}{1!\left(4-1\right)!}3^3x^1$

$i=2\quad :\quad \frac{4!}{2!\left(4-2\right)!}3^2x^2$

$i=3\quad :\quad \frac{4!}{3!\left(4-3\right)!}3^1x^3$

$i=4\quad :\quad \frac{4!}{4!\left(4-4\right)!}3^0x^4$

$=\frac{4!}{0!\left(4-0\right)!}\cdot \:3^4x^0+\frac{4!}{1!\left(4-1\right)!}\cdot \:3^3x^1+\frac{4!}{2!\left(4-2\right)!}\cdot \:3^2x^2+\frac{4!}{3!\left(4-3\right)!}\cdot \:3^1x^3+\frac{4!}{4!\left(4-4\right)!}\cdot \:3^0x^4$

$=\frac{4!}{0!\left(4-0\right)!}\cdot \:3^4x^0+\frac{4!}{1!\left(4-1\right)!}\cdot \:3^3x^1+\frac{4!}{2!\left(4-2\right)!}\cdot \:3^2x^2+\frac{4!}{3!\left(4-3\right)!}\cdot \:3^1x^3+\frac{4!}{4!\left(4-4\right)!}\cdot \:3^0x^4$

as

$\frac{4!}{0!\left(4-0\right)!}\cdot \:\:3^4x^0:\:\:\:\:\:\:81$

$\frac{4!}{1!\left(4-1\right)!}\cdot \:3^3x^1:\quad 108x$

$\frac{4!}{2!\left(4-2\right)!}\cdot \:3^2x^2:\quad 54x^2$

$\frac{4!}{3!\left(4-3\right)!}\cdot \:3^1x^3:\quad 12x^3$

$\frac{4!}{4!\left(4-4\right)!}\cdot \:3^0x^4:\quad x^4$

so equation becomes

$=81+108x+54x^2+12x^3+x^4$

$=x^4+12x^3+54x^2+108x+81$

Therefore,

$\left(3+x\right)^4:\quad x^4+12x^3+54x^2+108x+81$
