Answer: a²+b² = -99/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given two equations, this equations will be solved simultaneously to get a² and b²
a³ - 3ab² = 47 ... 1
b³ - 3a² b = 52... 2
From 1, a(a² - 3b²) = 47...3
From 2, b(b² - 3a²) = 52... 4
Adding 3 and 4, we have;
a²+b²-3b²-3a² = 99 (note that a and b will no longer be part of the equations as they have been factored out)
a²+b²-(3b²+3a²) = 99
(a²+b²) -3(b²+a²)= 99
Taking the difference we have
- 2(a²+b²) = 99
a²+b² = -99/2
Answer:
true
Step-by-step explanation:
if the vertical lines are not parallel, then the corresponding angles are not congruent.
8x + 2 = 14x - 76
8x - 14x = -76 -2
-6x = -78
x = 13
8(13) + 2 = 14(13) - 76
106 = 106---- equal
the vertical lines is a bit confusing.... they looks like not a parallel lines
3x+7=22
Subtract 7 to both sides
3x=15
Divide by 3
x=5
The answer would be 78. C
