Answer: a²+b² = -99/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given two equations, this equations will be solved simultaneously to get a² and b²
a³ - 3ab² = 47 ... 1
b³ - 3a² b = 52... 2
From 1, a(a² - 3b²) = 47...3
From 2, b(b² - 3a²) = 52... 4
Adding 3 and 4, we have;
a²+b²-3b²-3a² = 99 (note that a and b will no longer be part of the equations as they have been factored out)
a²+b²-(3b²+3a²) = 99
(a²+b²) -3(b²+a²)= 99
Taking the difference we have
- 2(a²+b²) = 99
a²+b² = -99/2
The amount of down payment Michelle paid for a dryer of $1,400 at 17% down payment is $238
Given:
Total cost of dryer = $1,400
down payment percentage = 17%
<em>Amount paid for down payment</em> = 17% of $1,400
= 17/100 × 1400
= 0.17 × 1400
= $238
Therefore, the amount of down payment Michelle paid for a dryer of $1,400 at 17% down payment is $238

Answer:
x=-52/29
Step-by-step explanation:
-3(42x+46)=-15(-22-9x)
-126x-138=330+135x
-126x-135x-138=330
-261x-138=330
-261x=330+138
-261x=468
x=468/-261
x=-52/29
