Answer:

Choice A) a² - 9a - 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Separate the terms by the power of the variable, a.

Terms with power 2 on a:

  • First equation: 6a²;
  • Second equation: -5a².

Terms with power 1 on a:

  • First equation: -17a;
  • Second equation: 8a.

Terms with power 0 on a, which are also known as constant terms:

  • First equation: -9;
  • Second equation: -2.

Apply the distributive property of multiplication in reverse. In other words, factor out terms with the same power and add the coefficients.

Terms with power 2 on a:

6a^{2} + (-5a^{2}) = (6 + (-5))a^{2} = a^{2}.

Terms with power 1 on a:

-17 a + 8a = ((-17) + 8)a = -9a.

Constant terms:

(-9) + (-2) = -11.

Add the sum of the individual terms to find the sum of the two polynomials:

a^{2} + (- 9a) +(- 11) = a^{2}-9a -11.

What is property of equality
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Two equations that have the same solution are called equivalent equations e.g. 5 +3 = 2 + 6. And this as we learned in a previous section is shown by the equality sign =. An inverse operation are two operations that undo each other e.g. addition and subtraction or multiplication and division.

Answer:

The function show the value of the machinery after "t" years.

So After "4" years... Input "t" as 4 to get its value

f(t) = 12,500 - 1,600(4)

=$6,100
