I think it’s the second option
4b^2 - 16 =
4(b^2 - 4) =
4(b + 2)(b - 2)
Answer:
x = -8/3
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume you want to solve for x and y.
The best way to do this with the two formulas given is elimination. This means add the two equations together.
6x + 5y = 4
-6x + y = 20
The 6 x and -6x will cancel each other. By adding the like terms of the two together you will come out with
6y = 24
Now solve for y by dividing both sides by the 6.
y = 24/6 = 4
Now that we have y, you can plug it into one of the equations and solve for x.
Let's use -6x + y =20.
So plug in the 4 for y to get -6x + 4 = 20
Subtract the 4 from both sides then solve for y by dividing both sides by the -6.
-6x = 16
x = -16/6
You can reduce that down so that x = -8/3.
Answer: x=18
im assuming that this is a right angle
so if it is then that means the total of the angle should be 90 degrees. so 2x+3x should be equal to 90. Just combine like terms to get that 5x=90 and then isolate the variable (divide by 5 on both sides) so x ends up equaling 18.
so x=18
