Distribute the negative sign

Combine like terms
-9x^2 + 7x^2 = -2x^2
9x - 3x = 6x
13 - 6 = 7

<u>Answer</u>

Answer:
20 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
First problem:
The new speed is 26 mph.
The old speed was x.
The new speed is 30% higher than the old speed.
1.3x = 26
x = 20
Answer: 20 mph
Second problem:
A number, perhaps a percent or a fraction, is missing from the problem.
Answer:
undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the slope of a line using two points by
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (-9- -4)/(-4 - -4)
= (-9+4)/(-4+4)
= -5/0
When we divide by zero, our solutions is undefined
The slope is undefined
