A could be 2 while B could be 3, so -2a+3b turns into -4+9, which equals 5.
From what I know you can't really solve a a single equation with two-variables so it's just a matter of trial and error.
Just try plugging in a small number like 2 for a just to try it and you get 8b^2=72.
Divide everything by 8 to isolate b and you get that b^2=9.
Square root everything and you'll find that b=3. This is just one possible combination, I'm sure there are many more but this is obviously the one that was intended to be found.
Now that we know that a=2 and b=3 just plug them into the equation.
-2(2)+3(3)=?
-4+9=?
5
Sorry about having to use this ^ symbol, the equation maker is not working.
Answer:
The equation of the line is,

Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to write it in a form of y = mx + b :




When both lines are parallel to each other, they will have to same gradient value. So the equation of the line is y = (-2/5)x + b. Next, you have to find the value of b by substutituting (-10,3) into the equation :






You apply the rule to put the exponent in front, and lower it by one. But since this is a nested expression, you apply it twice:
4*(5x^3-4)^3 * 3*5x^2 =
60x^2 (5x^3-4)^3
In this question, you are given an equation with < (less than) sign. You can solve this equation and treat the less than sign same as an equal sign. The only difference is when you mirroring the equation or multiplying both sides with minus, which will change the direction of the sign. The calculation should be:
-24 < x-3 -8 x
-24 +3 < x - 8x
-21 < -7x
-21/-7 <x
3 <x
x>3
The answer is D.×>3
