The answer is -11
You put "-1" in place of all the "a"s and get
-(-1) - 12(-1)^2
-(-1) is just 1, and (-1)^2 is "1"
We are then left with 1-12(1) which is 1-12 which is -11
Answer:
x=y
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number of tennis balls and y the number of rackets.
-We divide the number of balls by the number of rackets to find out their ratio of proportionality:

-Hence, for each one ball there is one racket, so;

-This relationship is linear in nature, a direct variation, and can be graphed as attached below:
F(-7)=0
Because that makes the (x+7) factor equal zero and any other factor multiplied by zero also results in zero.
3x + 2 = 5x - 8
Flip
5x - 8 = 3x + 2
Subtract both sides by 3x
2x - 8 = 2
Add both sides by 8
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2
x = 5
That's your answer.
Have an awesome day! :)
