16 / 5 = 48 / 12

16 * 12 = 5 * 48
192 = 240

which is incorrect  so 5 cannot be the solution of the equation.

substituting 4 for x  will give you 192=192

Identify the factors of 9x^2+24x+16
Goryan [66]
Hi friend,

This is a perfect square trinomial.

It can be recognised because it is of the form:

a^2−2ab+b^2=(a−b)^2

with a=3x and b=4

9x2−24x+16=(3x)2−(2⋅(3x)⋅4)+42

=(3x−4)2

What is the y-intercept of the line -7x-5y=-45?
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The y-intercept is at the point (0, 9).

Step-by-step explanation:

WE have the y intercept when x = 0:

-7(0) - 5y = -45

-5y = -45

y = -45/-5 = 9.
