Answer:
y to the 6 over x to the 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>2x+14y=-108
</span><span>63x+14y= 14 (multiply the second equation by 7 and subtract)
_____________
-61x=-122
x=-122/-61
x=2
2(2)+14y=-108
4+14y=-108
14y=-112
y=-112/14
y=-8

Hello there! The formula for dividing fraction is keep, change, flip. You keep the first fraction the same, change division into multiplication, and flip the second fraction over by its reciprocal. In this case, 5/12 remains the same, division becoems multiplication, and 20/36 flips over to become 36/20. So the expression becomes this:
5/12 * 36/20
Now, we multiply straight across. 5 * 36 is 180. 12 * 20 is 240. 180/240 is 3/4 in simplest form. There. The quotient is 3/4.
now, let's recall the rational root test, check your textbook on it.
so p = 18 and q = 1
so all possible roots will come from the factors of ±p/q
now, to make it a bit short, the factors are loosely, ±3, ±2, ±9, ±1, ±6.
recall that, a root will give us a remainder of 0.
let us use +3.

well, that one worked... now, using the rational root test, our p = 6, q = 1.
so the factors from ±p/q are ±3, ±2, ±1
let's use 3 again

and of course, we can factor x²-x-2 to (x-2)(x+1).
(x-3)(x-3)(x-2)(x+1).
