Answer:
x2-14x+52 is the answer in my calculation.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As we move from (0, 3) to (9, 0), we see x increasing by 9. This is the 'run.'
At the same time, we see y decreasing by 3. This is the 'rise.'
The slope of this line (graph) is m = rise / run = -3/9, or m = -1/3
Since we witness a decrease in y as we move from the first point to the second, we immediately suspect that the slope is negative.
First you have to put all of your common numbers together. 4a and 9a go together. You then subtract those because 9 is negative (-9). Then you get -5a. Now move on to your other numbers. You have 26 and 17. 17 is negative as well (-17), so you subtract it from 26. That gives you 9.
Your new equation is -5a + 9 = 26
Now you subtract 9 from both sides. Your positive (+9) will cancel out with your negative (-9). Then subtract it from 26. 9 minus 26 is 17.
Now your equation is -5a = 17
Since it's negative, you're going to add it (5) to both sides.
Your 5's cancel out, and 17 + 5 is 22.
a = 22
22 is the answer
