Answer:
a = 36 , b = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
expand the right side using FOIL and compare coefficients with like terms on left side.
(x - b)²
= x² - 2bx + b² , compare to x² - 12x + a , then
- 2b = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
b = 6
and a = b² = 6² = 36
Answer:
or in slope y-intercept form :
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way of find the answer for this is to use what is called the "point-slope" form of a line, because you are in fact given the value of the slope (m) and also a point 
it goes through:
In our case the equation becomes:
This can also be written in the slope-intercept form by solving for "y" and operating to remove the parenthesis:
Answer:
x = 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) Jarvis lives 3 miles away from Cassidy and Theo lives 6 miles away.
(if Jarvis lives 3 miles away from Cassidy and Theo is twice as far from Jarvis, Theo would be twice as many miles away from Cassidy than Jarvis; 3 times 2 is 6; 3+6+=9)
2.) Jorge's watering can can hold 8 cups of water.
(Older brother's can hold 16 cups; 8+8+16= 32; there are 32 cups in 2 gallons)
4.16=416/100
416/100=4•104/4•25
=104/25
4.16=104/25
