Answer:
0.27
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: (-8, -80)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
y = 10x
y = -3x - 104
Substitute "y" with "10x" into the second equation, then solve for x:
10x = -3x - 104
13x = -104 <em>added 3x to both sides</em>
x = -8 <em>divided both sides by 13</em>
Next, substitute -8 for x into the first equation to solve for y:
y = 10(-8)
= -80
notice, there are three terms, therefore is a
trinomial.
the term that has the highest degree, has a degree of 3, therefore the degree of the polynomial as a whole is 3, or a
cubic degree.
so, is a
cubic trinomial.
8a - 4 = 25 + 6 (a - 8)
(distribute the 6)
8a - 4 = 25 + 6a - 48
(combine like terms 25 - 48)
8a - 4 = 6a - 23
( subtract 6a from both sides)
2a - 4 = -23
(add 4 to both sides)
2a = -19
(divide both sides by 2)
a = - 9.5
////CHECK/////
8 (-9.5) - 4 = 25 + 6 ( -9.5 -8)
(plug each side into a calculator)
-80 = -80
FINAL ANSWER:
a = -9.5
