Nadia Is correct I believe, Because if a pizza is cut into 8 slices each slice is going to be smaller. but if it were to be cut into fourths it would be bigger. They are indeed equivalent but still never the same in size.
A. 53/100
B. 163/200
C. 53/10
D. 163/20
Those are the answers to the question.
The answer is going to be 9
Answer:
2a = 15- a ..................
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 
Subbing in:

a = 9, b = -2, c = -7
The product of a and c is the aboslute value of -63, so a*c = 63. We need 2 factors of 63 that will add to give us -2. The factors of 63 are {1, 63}, (3, 21}, {7, 9}. It looks like the combination of -9 and +7 will work because -9 + 7 = -2. Plug in accordingly:

Group together in groups of 2:

Now factor out what's common within each set of parenthesis:

We know this combination "works" because the terms inside the parenthesis are identical. We can now factor those out and what's left goes together in another set of parenthesis:

Remember that 
so we sub back in and continue to factor. This was originally a fourth degree polynomial; that means we have 4 solutions.

The first two solutions are found withing the first set of parenthesis and the second two are found in other set of parenthesis. Factoring
gives us that x = 1 and -1. The other set is a bit more tricky. If
then
and

You cannot take the square root of a negative number without allowing for the imaginary component, i, so we do that:
±
which will simplify down to
±
Those are the 4 solutions to the quartic equation.
