Positive 28 because to negative will equal a positive number
Answer:
x = 5
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 2x + 2y = 18
2. x + 3y = 17
Multiply the first equation by 1 and the second equation by 2 to eliminate x
We have
2x + 2y = 18
2x + 6y = 34
Subtract equation 2 from equation 1
-4y = -16
Divide both sides by -4 to isolate y
-4y/-4 = -16/-4
y = 4
Now substitute 4 for y in either equation to get x. Using equation 2 we have
x + 3y = 17
x + 3 x 4 = 17
x + 12 = 17
Subtract 12 from both sides
x + 12 - 12 = 17 - 12
x = 5
x = 5 and
y = 4
Split the second term in 3a^2 - 8a + 4 into two terms
3a^2 - 2a - 6a + 4 = 0
Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
a(3a - 2) -2(3a - 2) = 0
Factor out the common term 3a - 2
(3a - 2)(a - 2) = 0
Solve for a;
a = 2/3,2
<u>Answer : B. (2/3,2)</u>
