First you divide everything by 4 which will become b^2+2b-3=0
Then you can factor this which is
(b-1)(b+3)=0
B=1
B=-3 ... I think that's how you do it
Answer:
x equals negative two
Step-by-step explanation:
that's how you would say it
Answer:
4w-15
Step-by-step explanation:
For expressions that have "more than/less than" , that number goes AFTER the "whatever a number" statement because that's just how they explain it. I don't remember the exact reason why, but that is how my professor made me remember it, and yes, the order WILL affect the expression since that's a specific topic and I suppose you're being tested on how to make algebraic expressions based on descriptions.
<span>y=x-4
y=-x+6
---------------------
Substitute x - 4 for y in </span>y=-x+6
x-4=-x+6<span>
--------------------------------
Add X on each side
</span><span>x-4+x</span>=-<span>x+6+x
</span>2x - 4 = 6
--------------------------------------
Add 4 on each side
<span>2x-4+4</span>=<span>6+4
</span>2x = 10
------------------------------------------------
Divide by 2 on each side
2x ÷ 2 = 10 ÷ 2
x = 5
Now we have X
================================================================
To find Y we substitute 5 for x in y=<span>x-<span>4
</span></span>y = 5 - 4
y = 1
-----------------------------------------------------
Your answers are Y = 1 and X = 5
