Answer:

b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

-12 + 3b -1 = -5 - b

-13 + 3b = -5 - b

+13 = +13

_____________

3b = 8 - b

+b = +b

_________

4b = 8

/4 = /4 <---divide 8 by 4

_______________

b = 2

-12+3b-1=-5-b
Combine like terms to get:
3b-13=-5-b
Add 13 to both sides:
3b= 8-b
Add b to both sides:
4b=8
Divide both sides by 4:
4b/4=8/4
b=2

Final answer
b=2

Triss [41]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{ 2\sqrt{7} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\lim_{x\to 0} \frac{ \sqrt{x + 7} - \sqrt{7} }{x} \\ \\ = \lim_{x\to 0} \frac{( \sqrt{x + 7} - \sqrt{7}) }{x} \times \frac{( \sqrt{x + 7} + \sqrt{7}) }{( \sqrt{x + 7} + \sqrt{7}) } \\ \\ = \lim_{x\to 0} \frac{( \sqrt{x + 7} )^{2} - (\sqrt{7})^{2} }{x( \sqrt{x + 7} + \sqrt{7})} \\ \\ = \lim_{x\to 0} \frac{( {x + 7} - {7}) }{x( \sqrt{x + 7} + \sqrt{7})} \\ \\ = \lim_{x\to 0} \frac{ {\cancel x}}{\cancel x( \sqrt{x + 7} + \sqrt{7})} \\ \\ = \lim_{x\to 0} \frac{ {1}}{\sqrt{x + 7} + \sqrt{7}} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{0 + 7} + \sqrt{7} } \\ \\ = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{7} + \sqrt{7} } \\ \\ = \frac{1}{ 2\sqrt{7} }$

The answer would be B. Using the foil method to check, the two k's equal k^2, then the k and -f would equal -fk, plus the 2fk would equal a positive fk. Lastly, the 2f and -f would equal -2f^2.
