3p^2-2p-5= \\\\ a=3 \\ b=-2 \\ c=-5 \\\\ \Delta=(-2)^2-4*3*(-5) =4+60\to\boxed{64} \\\\ x_1;x_2=\frac{-(-2)  +/-  \sqrt{64}}{2*3}  \\\\ x_1;x_2=\frac{2 +/-8}{6} \\\\ x_1=\frac{2+8}{6}=\frac{10}{6}\to\boxed{\frac{5}{3}} \\\\ x_2=\frac{2-8}{6}=\frac{-6}{6}\to\boxed{-1} \\\\ 3p^2-2p-5=(x-\frac{5}{3})(x+1)

Can someone help me I'm so confused
nikklg [1K]
A is the correct answer. A coefficient is just a number that appears in front of a variable. Please note that a number that doesn't have a variable behind it is still a coefficient since there is technically a variable behind it with a power of 0.

How to solve using Substitution or Elimination?<br> y=3x-1<br><br> y=2x+2
n200080 [17]

By elimination:

y = 3x - 1

y = 2x + 2

Subtract the second equation from the first

0 = x - 1

y = 2x + 2

Subtract the first equation from the second

0 = x - 1

y = x + 3

Subtract the first equation from the second again

0 = x - 1

y =      4

Subtract x from both sides of the first equation

- x =  - 1

y =      4

Divide the first equation by (-1)    

x =  1

y =  4

<h3>So, the solution is  x = 1  and  y = 4   {or: (1, 4)}</h3>

How can systems of linear equations with two variables be solved using algebraic methods?
erik [133]

Answer: The systems are solved by solving for one variable in one of the equations, then substituting that equation into the second equation. Solve for a in the second equation, then substitute the second equation into the first. The Elimination Method: Both equations are in standard form:            Ax + By = C.
