A could be 2 while B could be 3, so -2a+3b turns into -4+9, which equals 5.
From what I know you can't really solve a a single equation with two-variables so it's just a matter of trial and error.
Just try plugging in a small number like 2 for a just to try it and you get 8b^2=72.
Divide everything by 8 to isolate b and you get that b^2=9.
Square root everything and you'll find that b=3. This is just one possible combination, I'm sure there are many more but this is obviously the one that was intended to be found.
Now that we know that a=2 and b=3 just plug them into the equation.
-2(2)+3(3)=?
-4+9=?
5

Answer:
(x-3)(x-9)
Step-by-step explanation:
first thing you need to do is move the -6 over. so we're going to add 6 to both sides (we add because it's negative 6 and we need 0 on the right side)
so you have: x^2-12x+27
now we need to come up with two numbers that add to -12 and multiply to 27.
the factors of 27 are 9 & 3 and 27 & 1. only 9 & 3 add to 12 so we are going to use those.
since the 12 is negative however, 9 and 3 should both be negative.
therefore we get: (x-3)(x-9)
*it doesn't matter which order you put them in!
Answer:
Terms are 2x, -50y and -80
Coefficients are 2 and -50
Step-by-step explanation:
