Answer:

2.025

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, you don't necessarily need to find the exact values of a and b. Rather, find the value of (a+b) first, and then you can substitute it into the next equation. First, you can divide both sides of the first equation 2(a+b)= -8.1 by 2, to get (a+b)=-4.05. Now, subsitute the value of (a+b) into the second equation, -0.5(a+b), to get -0.5(-4.05). From here, you can calculate that -0.5 times -4.05 is  2.025. Hope this helped!

Find the two square roots of 144.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The square root function

sqrt(144) or √144 produces a single positive value, 12.  

However if you have an equation

x² = 144, then you have two possible values for x, 12 and -12.  

Two ways to look at it.  

x² - 144 = 0

Difference of two squares

(x+12)(x-12) = 0

x = -12, 12

x² = 144

x = ±√144

x = ±12

x = -12, 12

Simplify 2x - 8x - 6y + 9 -14 + x + 11y.
raketka [301]
We can see that 2x - 8x + x = -5x
and -6y + 11y = 5y
and 9 - 14 = -5
so simplified, it is -5x + 5y - 5
