In this problem, we need to plug in the given x values for
and find a and b.
When we plug in 1, we get:
Simplify:
We got our first statement about the values of the variables. If we find one more we can find those 2 variables.
We have another given root: 4.
Plug it in:
Now we have our second one. We can combine them:
I use elimination method which is easier here.
Multiply the top equation by -1:
Add them up:
Simplify:
Now we have a, we can plug in one of those equations to find b:

Answer: Angle ABC = 60, angle CBD = 120 and angle GFH = 60
Step-by-step explanation: Line ABD is parallel to line EFG. Line line CFH is a straight line that cuts across both parallel lines. Therefore, angle FBD and angle HFG are corresponding angles. That means angle FBD equals 3x. Also 3x plus 6X equals 180. That is,
3x + 6x = 180 {Sum of angles on a straight line equals 180}
9x = 180
Divide both sides of the equation by 9
x = 20.
That means angle 6x measures 6(20) and that is 120 degrees.
Also angle 3x measures 3(20) and that is 60 degrees.
Angle ABC + Angle CBD = 180 {Sum of angles on a straight line equals 180}
Angle ABC + 120 = 180
Angle ABC = 180 - 120
Angle ABC = 60
Also angle CBD equals 6x, and x = 20. Therefore angle CBD = 6 x 20
Angle CBD = 120.
And then, angle GFH = 3x, and x equals 20. Hence angle GFH = 60.
Therefore angle ABC = 60, angle CBD = 120 and angle GFH = 60.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
some of your answers that you currently have are wrong, I'll note those mistakes below
- when factoring (ie 5x+15) only factor out things that can divide both numbers into a whole number ratio
5x+15 = 5(x+3), not (x+3)(x+5)
ie 
we see that 10x can divide the numerator in a whole number ratio
= 10x(x+2), not (x+2)(x+10)
second mistake: the first binomial expansion is incorrect.
you have the expansion formula right, but you added terms wrong, go look at it again
3. x^2+3x+2/ x^2+5x+6
(x+1)(x+2)/(x+3)(x+2)
(x+1)/(x+3)
4. (x^2+6x+8)/(x^2-16)
(x+4)(x+2)/(x+4)(x-4)
(x+2)/(x-4)
5. we can't simplify that any more, x and y are different variables so therefore we cannot cross out stuff on numerator and denominator
6. (x^4y^6)^2
(x^4y^6)(x^4y^6) = 
remember that (x^a)(x^b) = x^(a+b)
or remember that (x^a)^b = x^ab
