First you multiply both equations by 2 from the 1/2x
Then, you get 10x+10=x-8
Next you move the x to the left side from the right
Now you subtract 10 by both sides which is: 10x-x=-8-10
Collect like terms; 9x=-18
Lastly, you divide 9 by both sides and you get
x=-2

(4x + 4)(ax – 1) – x2 +4

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

b=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the expression simplifies to bx that means the $x^{2}$ terms and the constant terms must be cancel out.

Simplify it first.

$(4x+4)(ax-1)-x^{2} +4\\=(4ax^{2} -4x+4ax-4)-x^{2} +4\\=4ax^{2} -x^{2} -4x+4ax-4+4\\=4ax^{2} -x^{2} -4x+4ax$

We know –4 + 4 will cancel out. If we simplify this expression to only an x term, then the $x^{2}$ terms should be cancelled. Therefore, we say that 4ax^2 – x^2 = 0.

$4ax^{2} -x^{2} =0\\x^{2} (4a-1)=0\\4a-1=0\\4a=1\\a=\frac{1}{4}$
