Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
-3a + 8 = 2z + -12
Reorder the terms:
8 + -3a = 2z + -12
Reorder the terms:
8 + -3a = -12 + 2z
Solving
8 + -3a = -12 + 2z
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + -3a = -12 + -8 + 2z
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -3a = -12 + -8 + 2z
-3a = -12 + -8 + 2z
Combine like terms: -12 + -8 = -20
-3a = -20 + 2z
Divide each side by '-3'.
a = 6.666666667 + -0.6666666667z
Simplifying
a = 6.666666667 + -0.6666666667z

Answer:
(6, - 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
- 
y = 3 → (1)
x - 
= 12 → (2)
Multiply (1) by 8 and (2) by 6 to clear the fractions
2x - 3y = 24 → (3)
10x - 3y = 72 → (4)
Rearrange (3) expressing - 3y in terms of x by subtracting 2x from both sides
- 3y = 24 - 2x
Substitute 3y = 24 - 2x into (4)
10x + 24 - 2x = 72, that is
8x + 24 = 72 ( subtract 24 from both sides )
8x = 48 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 6
Substitute x = 6 in either (3) or (4) and solve for y
Substituting in (3)
2(6) - 3y = 24
12 - 3y = 24 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
- 3y = 12 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
y = - 4
Solution is (6, - 4 )
Answer:
x = -3 x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + x - 6 = 0
Factor
What two numbers multiply to -6 and add to 1
3*-2 =-6
3+-2 =1
(x+3) (x-2) = 0
Using the zero product property
x+3 = 0 x-2 = 0
x = -3 x=2
We know that
if <span>(ax + b)(cx - d) = 0
then
</span><span>(ax + b)= 0-----> ax=-b------> x=-b/a
and
</span><span>(cx - d) = 0-----> cx=d------> x=d/c
therefore
the answer is the option
</span><span>C. -\frac{b}{a}</span>
