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 a to find b

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

-3 - b = -5

-b = -2

b = 2

Answer:

7-x

Step-by-step explanation:

49 - x^2 is a perfect square so

it factors to :(7+x)(7-x)

since there is a negative in 49 - x^2, it would make sense that the answer would be a negative to get that negative answer in the first place (negative times a positive equals a negative)

Forgive me for my lame explanation :')
