The correct answer ids 100% answer choice D
Can there be more than one answer? I think it could be add x, subtract 1, divide by 4 and/or subtract 1, add x, divide by 4
(6x–1)(6x+1) - 4x(9x+2) = −1
Simplify the left side:
36x^2-1 -36x^2-8x = -1
Combine like terms:
-1 -8x = -1
Add 1 to both sides:
-8x = 0
Divide both sides by -8:
x = 0 / -8
x = 0
The root is 0
Answer:
10 SENIORS
Step-by-step explanation:
x=# of seniors
y=# of juniors
x+y=23, x=2y-7
- plug the value of x in the second equation into the first
- (2y-7)+y=23
- Remove parentheses
- 2y-7+y=23
- Combine like terms
- 3y-7=23
- Add 7 to BOTH sides
- 3y=30
- divide BOTH sides by 3
- 3y/3=30/3
- y=10
- There are 10 juniors in the class
- FINAL STEPS
- Plug y (which is 10) into the first equation
- x+y=23
- x+10=23
- subtract 10 from BOTH sides
- x=13
- Since X equals the number of seniors, there are 10 seniors in the class
