The answer is six thousand
A^2-64=0 you can factor like this:
(a+8)(a-8)=0 and since a>0, a must be 8
or you can do this:
add 64 to both sides of the equation leaving you with:
a^2=64 taking the square root of both sides
a=(-8,+8) and since a>0, a=8
The slope of the line is (6 - (-3))/(1 - (-5)) = 9/6 = 3/2, so by point slope form, the equation of the line is (y + 5) = 3/2(x + 3). Then 2y + 10 = 3x + 9, so 3x - 2y = 1. A + B + C = 3 + (-2) + 1 = 2.
