You can rewrite that as:
a^2-4ab+6ab-24b^2 then factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms.
a(a-4b)+6b(a-4b) so you have
(a+6b)(a-4b)
Answer:
make the y int -4 because it passes through (0,-4). to make perpendicular, apply same slope to new equation but change sign
equation:
3x -4
X=162, if you multiply 18*9 which is the way to get the answer you get 162
A line adds up to equal 180 degrees. And adjacent angles also add to equal 180 since they share a side on a line. So add them together and make them equal 180
9x - 7 + 8.5x + 4 = 180
17.5x - 3 = 180
17.5x = 183
x = 10.5
