Answer:
2 or -2
Step-by-step explanation:
If x² - 8x = -12
Step 1
We find x by solving
x² - 8x = -12
We equate to zero
x² - 8x + 12 = 0
We factorise
x² - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0
x(x - 6) -2(x - 6) = 0
(x - 6) (x - 2) = 0
x - 6 = 0, x = 6
x - 2 = 0, x = 2
x = 6 or 2
Step 2
What is x - 4?
When x = 6
= 6 - 4 = 2
When x = 2
= 2 - 4 = -2
Therefore, x - 4 = 2 or -2
There are many systems of equation that will satisfy the requirement for Part A.
an example is y≤(1/4)x-3 and y≥(-1/2)x-6
y≥(-1/2)x-6 goes through the point (0,-6) and (-2, -5), the shaded area is above the line. all the points fall in the shaded area, but
y≤(1/4)x-3 goes through the points (0,-3) and (4,-2), the shaded area is below the line, only A and E are in the shaded area.
only A and E satisfy both inequality, in the overlapping shaded area.
Part B. to verify, put the coordinates of A (-3,-4) and E(5,-4) in both inequalities to see if they will make the inequalities true.
for y≤(1/4)x-3: -4≤(1/4)(-3)-3
-4≤-3&3/4 This is valid.
For y≥(-1/2)x-6: -4≥(-1/2)(-3)-6
-4≥-4&1/3 this is valid as well. So Yes, A satisfies both inequalities.
Do the same for point E (5,-4)
Part C: the line y<-2x+4 is a dotted line going through (0,4) and (-2,0)
the shaded area is below the line
farms A, B, and D are in this shaded area.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinates of end points are;
(2,11)
(6.6,8.7)
(9,4)
Each solution region is unbounded.
The final solution region is bonded.
Based on the given above, collection of books of Nathan and Jason can be translated into the following equations:
6J + 1/3N = 134
1/3 J + N = 31; J = Jasons and N=Nathan
Solving two equations with two unknowns simultaneously,
Jason = 21 books and Nathan = 24 books
