In this problem, we need to plug in the given x values for

and find a and b.
When we plug in 1, we get:

Simplify:



We got our first statement about the values of the variables. If we find one more we can find those 2 variables.
We have another given root: 4.
Plug it in:




Now we have our second one. We can combine them:

I use elimination method which is easier here.
Multiply the top equation by -1:

Add them up:

Simplify:

Now we have a, we can plug in one of those equations to find b:



So, the answers are

and

.
Answer:
5x+10
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute:
=(5)(x)+(5)(3)+−5
=5x+15+−5
Combine Like Terms:
=5x+15+−5
=(5x)+(15+−5)
=5x+10
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

X/3 +4 = 5+x/6
6(x/3 +4 = 5+x/6)
2x+ 24 = 30 +x
x= 6
Add EF and DE together to equal 32
2x-10 + 4x = 32
Combine like terms;
6x-10 = 32
Add 10 to each side:
6x = 42
Divide both sides by 6:
x = 42/6
X = 7
EF = 2x-10 = 2(7)-10 = 14-10 = 4
DE = 4x = 4(7) = 28
