The terms in descending powers of a variable are
.
Given that
Polynomial; 
<h3>We have to determine</h3>
After arranging the terms in descending powers of a variable, select the opposite of the polynomial.
<h3>According to the question</h3>
A polynomial is an expression consisting of coefficients and variables which are also known as indeterminates.
<h3>Degree of a Polynomial</h3>
The degree of a polynomial can be defined as the highest degree of a monomial within a polynomial.
The degree of the polynomial can be defined as a polynomial equation having a single variable that has the greatest exponent.
Therefore
The terms in descending powers of a variable are;

Hence, The terms in descending powers of a variable are

<u>x₁ + x₂</u> <u>y</u>₁ + <u>y</u>₂<u>
</u> 2 = M 2 = M
<u>
x + 8</u> <u>y + -2</u><u>
</u> 2 = -4 2 =6
<u>multiply both sides by 2.
</u>x+8=-8 y - 2 = 12
<u>x = -16</u> <u>y = 14
</u>
Final Answer: (-16, 14)
<span>x + 3y= -11 (1)
</span><span>-9y = 33 + 3x ---->3x + 9y = -33 (2)
divide (2) equation by 2
</span>3x + 9y = -33
x + 3y = -11 (2')
and equation (1) is also x + 3y= -11 (1)
so
x + 3y= -11 (1)
x + 3y= -11 (2')

Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
The 3 by 2 rectangle is 6 so 15-6=9
3 x (x-2) x 0.5 = 9
3 x (6-2=4) 4 = 12 / 2 = 6
Answer:
9. a = -1
10. b = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The term "cross multiplying" is used to describe the appearance of the result of multiplying both sides of the equation by the product of the denominators. The result is the left numerator is multiplied by the right denominator, and the right numerator is multiplied by the left denominator. The property of equality that supports this is the multiplication property of equality, which tells you the values of the variables are unchanged if you multiply both sides by the same thing. That multiplier is chosen so that it cancels the denominators.

<em>Additional comments</em>
Here are the answer checks:
9. (2(-1) -5)/(3(-1)-4) = (2(-1)-3)/(3(-1)-2) ⇒ -7/-7 = -5/-5 . . . yes
10. (10 -2)/(10 -6) = (10 +2)/(10 -4) ⇒ 8/4 = 12/6 . . . yes

Sometimes this method of solving the problem will result in extraneous solutions. Those will generally be values of the variable that make one or more of the denominators be zero. You must be careful to exclude those values from any possible solution set.
