Answer:
The equation shows the relationship between a planet’s orbital period, T, and the planet’s mean distance from the sun, A, in astronomical units, AU. If planet Y is twice the mean distance from the sun as planet X, by what factor is the orbital period increased?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: <em>x=4</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>1+3x=x+9</em>
<em> -x -x</em>
<em>1+2x=9</em>
<em>-1 -1</em>
<em>2x=8</em>
<em>Divide by 2 on each side</em>
<em>Final result</em>
<em>x=4</em>
(x+y-3)(x+y+3) = x^2+xy+3x+xy+y^2+3y-3x-3y-9 = -9+x^2+y^2+2xy
