If (a,b) is an ordered pair for x-y=5, is (b,a) also a solution?

1 answer:

5 0

The answer is no. Because solution (a,b) means x=a, y=b.and we have a-b=5. And (b,a) would mean x=b and y=a but then x-y=b-a=-(a-b)=-5≠5. So the pair (b,a) is not a solution.

Answer:

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first write it in factor form.

4(x - 1)(x + 3) = 0

4(x^2 + 2x - 3) = 0

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0 (answer).

Please help me, thank you

Just divide 1,300 by 5.

260 would be your answer. If you want an explanation, if you think about the term 100%, that's the total at the time. Amplifying that 100% by five would practically mean five times the amount of 100%, so 500%. You're just multiplying the amount of bunnies at the time by 5. (500% in decimal form is 5)
