(-9x²-2x) - (-9x²-3x) = (-9x²-2x) +(9x²+3x) = -9x²-2x+9x²+3x = (-9x²+9x²)+(-2x+3x) = x
The ratio 9:7 gives you following statement:
- Carl will win in 9 cases from 9+7=16;
- Carl will lose in 7 cases from 16.
Then the probability that Carl will lose is

Answer: 
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To get the equation in the slope-intercept form first, put the equation in slope-point form using the information given. The slope-point form is
. Then solve for y.
Distribute -3 to
,

Then, add -2 to both sides,

This is your final answer; the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 4. There are also a few other ways to solve but I find this the easiest.
The way i did that in middle school was plot the points then find the slpoe and work it out from there
