Answer:
To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.
Once you have simplified the expression, you get
-x-9/2x-4
But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write
x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4
So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.
Exact form: x= NEGATIVE 6/7
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
vertical line mean x always constant
54-2/0-3=-17,3=a
Y=-17,3x+54 b=54 because its the initial value of y when x =0
When x=1 y=36,7
When x=2 y=19,4
I juste replaced 1 in the equation and did the calculation with my calculator
