Answer: (a) x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
x - 8 = - 9
<u>Add 8 on both sides to isolate x</u>
x - 8 + 8 = - 9 + 8

Answer:
a = - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
A polynomial divided by factor (x - h) has a remainder given by f(h)
Here the divisor is (x - 2), thus f(2) gives the remainder, that is
2³ + 2(2)² - 7(2) + a = 4 ← 4 being the remainder
8 + 8 - 14 + a = 4, that is
12 + a = 4 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
a = - 8
Let x represent the number:
2/3(x)+15=9
2/3(x)= -6
x= -6/(2/3)
x= -6*(3/2)
x= -9
