3a+2(4a-1) = 9
3a+8a-2 = 9
11a -2= 9
plus 2 to get rid of the minus 2 and plus 2 to 9 aswell
11a=11
a=1

Simplify the following polynomial and write the answer in standard form. (9-2x^3+5^2-4x+5) - (-2x^3+2x-3)
pogonyaev
If I am reading the question correctly it would come out to -6x+42  First do all the addition and squaring, then factor in that negative.  You come out to -2x^3 +2x^3-4x-2x+25+5+9+3.  The x^3's cancel, the -x's add to -6x, then all that other adds to 42.

The correct answer is:  [B]:  " (2, 5) ".
__________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________
  -5x + y = -5 ;
  -4x + 2y = 2 .
___________________________________________
  Consider the first equation:
___________________________
-5x + y = -5 ;  ↔ y + (-5x) = -5 ;

↔ y - 5x = -5 ;  Add "5x" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve in terms of "y".
_____________________________________________
   y - 5x + 5x = -5 + 5x  

   y = -5 + 5x ;  ↔ y = 5x - 5 ;
____________________________________________
 Now, take our second equation:
______________________________
     -4x + 2y = 2 ; and plug in "(5x - 5)" for "y" ;  and solve for "x" :
_____________________________________________________
         -4x + 2(5x - 5) = 2 ; 
______________________________________________________
Note, 2(5x - 5) = 2(5x) - 2(5)  = 10x - 10 ;
__________________________________________
So:   -4x + 10x - 10 = 2 ;

On the left-hand side of the equation, combine the "like terms" ;

-4x +10x = 6x ;  and rewrite:

6x - 10 = 2  ;

Now, add "10" to each side of the equation:

6x - 10 + 10 = 2 + 10 ;

to get:

           6x = 12 ;  Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "6" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ; 

           6x/6 = 12 / 6 ;
 
                 x = 2 ;
_________________________________
Now, take our first given equation; and plug our solved value for "x" ; which is "2" ; and solve for "y" ;
_____________________________________
-5x + y = -5  ;

-5(2) + y = -5 ;

-10 + y = -5 ;  ↔
                              y - 10 = -5  ;

Add "10" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;
     
         y - 10 + 10 = -5 + 10 ;

                   y = 5 .
_____________________________
So, we have, x = 2 ; and y = 5 .
____________________________
Now, let us check our work by plugging in "2" for "x" and "5" for "y" in BOTH the original first and second equations:
______________________________
first equation: 

-5x + y = -5 ;

-5(2) + 5 =? -5?

-10 + 5 =? -5 ? YES!
______________________
second equation:

-4x + 2y = 2 ;

-4(2) + 2(5) =? 2 ?

-8 + 10 =? 2 ?  Yes!
_______________________________________________________
So, the answer is: 
___________________________________________________________
          x = 2 , y = 5 ; or, "(2, 5)" ;  which is: "Answer choice: [B] " .
___________________________________________________________

An auto shop charges a customer an equal amount for each new tire purchased plus an additional fee for an oil change.
Nitella [24]

The cost per unit of the auto shop function is the slope of the function

87 represents the slope and the cost per tire purchased

The function is given as:

\mathbf{C(t) = 87t + 32}

A linear function is represented as:

\mathbf{C(t) = mt + b}

Where:

m represents the slope or the unit rate.

So, by comparison:

\mathbf{m = 87}

This means that 87 represents the slope and the cost per tire purchased
