Hi Kristian

a - 3b = 22
a = b - 2

We need to solve a = b -2 for a
First, we need to substitute b - 2 for a in a - 3b = 22
a - 3b = 22
b - 2 - 3b = 22
-2b - 2 = 22
 -2b = 22 + 2
-2b = 24
b = 24/-2
b = -12

Now substitute -12 for b in a = b - 2
a = b -2
a= -12 - 2
a= -14

Thus, the solution is a = -14 and b = -12

The correct option is the last one (-14,-12)


If you have questions about my answer, please let me know.


Good luck!

F(x)=7-2x polynomial function
monitta

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, F(x)=7-2x is a polynomial function for which the sole x term has the exponent 1 and the constant term has the exponent 0:

F(x) = -2x^1 + 7x^0    

As is true of all polynomial functions, the exponents are all positive integers (plus that of the constant term is zero).

I don't understand this, can somebody please explain it to me?
Artyom0805 [142]
Looking at the equation, you could see that it is in vertex form. Vertex form looks like this: y=a(x-h)^2+k where a is the slope to find the first point away from the origin and (h,k) is the vertex. So, the vertex is (3,-1). The first point away from the origin is up two, over one, so the slope is 2. This means that a is 2. One way you could check this is by putting 2 in for a. If you put it into standard form, it would be 2x^2-12x+17. To find the x in the vertex when the equation is in standard form we use -b/2a. So it would give us 3 for x. If we put in 3 for x, we get -1 for y, so the vertex is (3,-1). This means that a is 2. Sorry for this lengthy answer, hope it helps.

What is the radius of a circle with an area of 113.04 cubic inches? Use 3.14 for pi.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: 6 inches.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You must use the formula for calculate the area of a circle, which is shown below:

A=3.14r^{2}

2. You know the area of the circle, therefore, you can solve for the radius, as following:

3.14r^{2}=A\\r^{2}=\frac{A}{3.14}\\r=\sqrt{\frac{A}{3.14}}

3. Now, you must substitute the value of the area into the equation above. Then, you obtain the following result:

r=\sqrt{\frac{113.04in^{2}}{3.14}}\\r=6in

Simplify the expression using the distributive property.<br><br><br><br> 6(3x + 4y)
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

18x+24y

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 6 to the 3 (6x3), this gives you 18x. (Remember, keep the x.)

Now, distribute the 6 to the 4 (6x4), which gives you 24y.

Now write it as an equation, 18x+24y.
