(3x+1)(x-2)+ax+b=3x^2+8x-5 Work out the values of a and b

Mathematics
1 answer:
Musya8 [376]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a = 13, b = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the left side and compare like terms on both sides

(3x + 1)(x - 2) ← expand using FOIL

= 3x² - 5x - 2

left side = 3x² - 5x - 2 + ax + b ← combine like terms

             = 3x² + x(a - 5) + b - 2

right side = 3x² + 8x - 5

For the 2 sides to be equal then

a - 5 = 8 ( add 5 to both sides )

a = 13

and

b - 2 = - 5 ( add 2 to both sides )

b = - 3

What system of equations does not have the same solution
Effectus [21]

Answer:

2x + y = 4

4x + 2y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations 2x + y = 4 & 4x + 2y = 12 haven't the same solution.

2x + y = 4...(1) \\ 4x + 2y = 12 \\ 2(2x + y) = 12 \\ 2x + y =  \frac{12}{2}  \\ 2x + y = 6...(2) \\ rhs \: of \: equations \: (1) \: and \: (2) \: are \:  \\ not \: sme.
