Hello there! Given the equation, we can solve through a series of steps:
1. Convert
In this step, we convert the mixed numbers to make them improper:
2 x 4 + 1 = 9, which means -4 1/2 = -9/2
4 x 3 + 3 = 15, which means -3 3/4 = -15/4
2. Multiply
Now that we have the improper fractions, we can multiply accordingly:
(-9/2 • -15/4) = -135/8
3. Simplify
Since we have our result, we can simplify to a mixed number:
-135/8 = 16 7/8
Your final answer is 16 7/8. Hope this helps!
Axis of symmetry -3 and -8 or 3 and -8
Answer: Hi!
First, we should combine like terms:
4b + 5b = 8b − 1 +3b + 15 =
9b = 11b + 14
Now, we should subtract 11b from both sides.
-2b = 14
Now, we should divide both sides by -2.
b = -7
Hope this helps!
