Multiply both sides by a

(a + 4)a = -3

Regroup terms

a(a + 4) = -3

Expand

a^2 + 4a = -3

Move all terms to one side

a^a + 4a + 3 = 0

Factor a^2 + 4a + 3

(a + 1)(a + 3) = 0

Solve for a

Let A = -4k+ 3 and B = 3k +17. If A = B, then what is the value of k?

kupik [55]

Answer:

k=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using substitution to find what you're missing, (in this case k) is when you plug each letter into the other equation:

-4k+3=3k+17

So now solve for k:

subtract 3 from both sides...

-4k=3k+14

subtract 3k from both sides to combine with -4k...

-7k=14

divide -7 from both sides...

k=-2
