Favor out a-1 as long as you do it to the whole problem it is now equivalent then just worry about factoring the new product
-1(8x^2+X-9)
(8x+9)((X-1)
8x+9=0
Subtract 9 divide by 8
X=-9/ 8 answer
X-1=0 X=1 answer

What is the equation for the line?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

y=4x

Step-by-step explanation:

The line goes through the points (0, 0) and (2, 8).

You can plug these in to the slope formula, and the slope is 4

Since the line intersects the y-axis at 0, the y-intersect is 0.

Using these two pieces of information, you now know that the equation is

y=4x+0, or y=4x.

Hope this helps!

If 2 pieces of pizza and 3 candy bars cost $8 and 6 pieces of pizza and 5 candy bars cost $20, what is the cost of one piece of
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

One piece of pizza = $2.5

One candy bar = $1

Step-by-step explanation:

Call 1 pizza a, 1 candy bar b. We have:

2a + 3b = $8

=> 3(2a+3b) = 3. $8

= 6a + 9b = $24

and

6a + 5b = $20

=> (6a + 9b) - (6a + 5b) = 9b - 5b = 4b = $24 - $20 = $4

=> b = $1

=> 2a + $3 = $8

=> 2a = $5

=> a = $2.5

So one piece of pizza = $2.5, one candy bar = $1
