Answer:

7, -2

Step-by-step explanation:

we call the first number "X" and the second one "Y"

X is 9 more than Y! which means we need to add 9 to Y so it'll be equal to X. so: Y+9=X

also 2×(X+Y)=10

you can also write this down as: 2X+2Y=10

now we have:

X=Y+9

2X+2Y=10

you can now put what equals to X in the second Equation:

2(Y+9)+2Y=10 => 2Y+18+2Y=10 => 4Y=10-18 =>Y= -2

the only thing left to do is to put Y= -2 in the first equation:

X= -2+9 => X=7

Answer:

a = 7

b = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a = b + 9

2(a + b) = 10 => a + b = 5

replace a

(b + 9) + b = 5

2b = 5 - 9

2b = - 4

b = - 2

replace b

a = - 2 + 9

a = 7

Answer:

For step three she could multiply the two parenthesis against each other to get 3(x² - 10x + 25) - 2 + 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1: 3(x - 5)² - 2 + 4x

step 2: 3(x - 5)(x - 5) - 2 + 4x

For step three she could multiply the two parenthesis against each other to get 3(x² - 10x + 25) - 2 + 4x

The correct answer is: [A]: " 2x³ + 7x² + 12x − 8 " .
______________________________________________________

Explanation:
__________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________
" (x² + 4x + 8) (2x − 1) " ; Find the product:

↔ " (2x − 1) (x² + 4x + 8) " ;
__________________________________________

Note: " (a + b) (c + d + e) = ab + ad + ae + bc + bd + ae " .
__________________________________________

→ " (2x − 1) (x² + 4x + 8) =

(2x * x²) + (2x * 4x) + (2x *8) + (-1 * x²) + (-1 * 4x) + (-1 * 8) ;

= 2x³ + 8x² + 16x + (-1x²) + (-4x) + (-8) ;

= 2x³ + 8x² + 16x − x² − 4x − 8) ;

→ Combine the "like terms" :

+ 8x² − x² = + 7x² ;

+ 16x − 4x = + 12x ;
_______________________________________________________
And rewrite the expression:
_______________________________________________________
→ " 2x³ + 7x² + 12x − 8 " ;

→ which is: Answer choice: [A]: " 2x³ + 7x² + 12x − 8 " .
