<span>f(x<0)=-f(x>0)=-x^2+5x+12
When x>0, x^2-5x-12=12, x=8, y=12
Therefore, f(x)=12 goes through point (8,12).</span>
2(2x) + 1x = 40 or 4x + 1x = 40 is the result of combining by substitution
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that we have to combine 2y + 1x = 40 and y = 2x using substitution method
The substitution method for solving systems of equations involves expressing one variable in terms of another, thus removing one variable from an equation.
<em><u>Given equations are:</u></em>
2y + 1x = 40 -------- eqn 1
y = 2x ----------- eqn 2
We can substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
Which means, substitute y = 2x in place of y in eqn 1
2(2x) + 1x = 40
4x + 1x = 40
5x = 40
x = 8
From eqn 2,
y = 2(8)
y = 16
Thus by combining using substitution method we found the solution
A) 3(a - b) = 3*a +3*-b = 3a - 3b EQUAL
b) 2a(2 + b) = 4a + 2ab NOT EQUAL
