Identify the slope of the equation, substitute by distribution I think, substitution for given point coordinates the y-intercept and combined like terms. And rewrite the equation in y-intersect form. I think this is write, have a great day!
Answers + Explanation:
1. x + 7 =10
if you know some number + 7 is 10, you know that number must be 3.
so, x = 3
the other way you can solve this would be:
x + 7 = 10
subtract 7 from both sides of the equation
x + 7 - 7 = 10 - 7
x = 3
2. Use the same strategy:
x - 8 = -5
add 8 to both sides of the equation
x - 8 + 8 = -5 + 8
x = 3
3. x + 3 = 6
subtract 3 from both sides of the equation
x + 3 - 3 = 6 - 3
x = 3
4. x + 6 = 3
subtract 6 from both sides of the equation
x + 6 - 6 = 3 - 6
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
By Descrates' Rule of Signs,
x² + 99x + 127 changes sign 0 times.
Hence it has 0 positive roots.
Since the discriminant b² - 4ac is also positive, there are 2 real distinct roots.
Hence both the roots are negative. (B)
