Hi there!
First work out the parenthesis.
Now collect the terms.
Next up we can answer our questions.
The coefficient of the a^2 term is...
B) -2
The coefficient of the ab term is...
B) 4
The coefficient of the b term is...
A) -2
85c - 0.5(85c) = 161.5
85c - 4.25c = 161.5
80.75c = 161.5
c = 161.5 / 80.75
c = 2............so she needs express proofreading
==================
x - 3 < -7 x + 5 > = 8
x < -7 + 3 x > = 8 - 5
x < -4 x > = 3
open circle on -4, shading to the left....closed circle on 3, shading to the right
Check the picture below.
so, if we get the whole area of the figure, which will be the combined areas of those three rectangles, and if we get the area of the triangle, and then subtract that area from of the triangle from the whole figure's area, we're in effect making a whole in the total area, and what's leftover is the shaded area.
