(-8)/(2y-8)=(5/(y+4))-7y+(8/(y^2-16))
(-4)/(y-4)=(5/(y+4))-7y+(8/(y+4)(y-4))
((-4)(y+4))/((y+4)(y-4))=((5(y-4))/(y+4)(y-4))-(7y(y+4)(y-4))/(y+4)(y-4))+(8/(y+4)(y-4))
(-4(y+4))=(5(y-4))-(7y(y+4)(y-4))+8
-4y-16=5y-20-(7y(y^2-16))+8
-4y-16=5y-20-7y^3+112y+8
-4y-16=117y-7y^3-12
-4=(121-7y^2)(y)
None of these choices would be equal to -4
Try this:
1. sum of numbers is x+y=67, the difference between them is x-y=11
2. it is possible to make up and resolve the system:
Answer:
FIRST EXPRESSION:
- If
, the value of
is 
- If
, the value of
is 
- If
, the value of
is 
SECOND EXPRESSION:
- If
, the value of
is 
- If
, the value of
is 
- If
, the value of
is 
Yes, for any value of "b" the value of the first expression is greater than the value of the second expression.
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the given values of "b" into each expression and evaluate.
- For the first expression
, you get:
If
→ 
If
→ 
If
→ 
- For the second expression
, you get:
If
→ 
If
→ 
If
→ 
You can observe that for any value of "b" the value of the first expression is greater than the value of the second expression.
Y = 3x
so
if x = 5 then y = 15
if x = 10 then y = 30
so a = 10 and b = 15
answer is B. second choice
a = 10 and b = 15
