4
:
(4a + 9) 1
————————————————— - ————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3) a + 3
Pull out like factors :
3a + 12 = 3 • (a + 4)
Equation at the end of step
6
:
3 • (a + 4)
————————————————— = 0
(a + 3) • (a - 3)
3•(a+4)
——————————— • (a+3)•(a-3) = 0 • (a+3)•(a-3)
(a+3)•(a-3)
a+4 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :
a = -4
The answer is b. If your problem is y=1/2x-3
Answer:
3/4 cup
Step-by-step explanation:
12 divided by 2 is 6
18 - 12 = 6
we are going to need half of 1 1/2 cup of flour
1 cup = 1/2
1/2 cup = 1/4
1/2 and 1/4 cup = 3/4 cup
Let number be x
2x - 5 = 3
2x = 3 + 5
x = 8 / 2
= 4
The number is 4
I hope this helps you
1)
x= -2y
2. (-2y)+4y=0
0=0
2)
x+2x= -3
x=-1
y= -2
3)
7x+2x+2=4
9x=2
x=2/9
y=2/9+1
y=11/9
