A is the answer because if you calculate the answer correctly. that will be so.
No.
1/4 would be proportional to 9/36.
8/36 can be simplified to 4/18, and further reduced to 2/9.
I believe the answer is 5. I multiplied 5 to -4 and that’s -20 and I’m guessing since slope-intercept form is y=Mx+b I’m thinking b=4 and the slope being 5 matches the output. -16=5(-4)+4
<span>8x + 10 - 5x = 15
3x + 10 = 15
3x = 5
x = 5/3

Explanation:
The formula isnt correctly written, it should state:

You have to start from
and end in a³+b³. On your first step, you need to use the distributive property.

This is equal to

Note that the second term, -a²b, is cancelled by the fourth term, ba², and the third term, ab², is cancelled by the fifht term, -b²a. Therefore, the final result is a³+b³, as we wanted to.
