Answer:

a = -1/2

b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Rewrite 1st equation

-b = -5 - 6a

b = 5 + 6a

Step 2: Substitution

4a - 3(5 + 6a) = -8

Step 3: Solve

4a - 15 - 18a = -8

-14a - 15 = -8

-14a = 7

a = -1/2

Step 4: Plug in <em>a</em> to find <em>b</em>

6(-1/2) - b = -5

-3 - b = -5

-b = -2

b = 2

Mekhanik [1.2K]
Please write this equation as    <span>f(x) = −18 + x^2 − 3x       

Rewrite it in descending order by powers of x:  f(x) = x^2 - 3x - 18

Since the coefficient of the x^2 term is +, the graph opens UP.</span>
