Answer: y = -3
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
-8x - 5y = -1
<u>+8x </u> <u>+8x </u>
-5y = 8x - 1
<u> ÷-5 </u> <u> ÷-5</u> <u>÷-5</u>
y = 
y(2) = 
= 
= 
= -3
3x - 8 = 2x + 15
Add 8 to both sides
3x = 2x + 23
Subtract 2x from both sides
x = 23
Answer:
b. (x-3)(x+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
y=x^2-x-6
y=x^2-3x+2x-6
=x(x-3)+2(x-3)
=(x-3)(x+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
2 (x-3)-4 (x+3)
Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that since Ax + By = 3 passes through (-7, 2), then if we plug -7 in for x and 2 in for y, the equation is satisfied. So, let's do that:
Ax + By = 3
A * (-7) + B * 2 = 3
-7A + 2B = 3
We also know that this line is parallel to x + 3y = -5, which means their slopes are the same. Let's solve for y in the second equation:
x + 3y = -5
3y = -x - 5
y = (-1/3)x - (5/3)
So, the slope of this line is -1/3, which means the slope of Ax + By = 3 is also -1/3. Let's solve for y in the first equation:
Ax + By = 3
By = -Ax + 3
y = (-A/B)x + 3/B
This means that -A/B = -1/3. So, we have a relationship between A and B:
-A/B = -1/3
A/B = 1/3
B = 3A
Plug 3A in for B into the equation we had where -7A + 2B = 3:
-7A + 2B = 3
-7A + 2 * 3A = 3
-7A + 6A = 3
-A = 3
A = -3
Use this to solve for B:
B = 3A
B = 3 * (-3) = -9
So, B = -9 and A = -3. Then B - A is:
B - A = -9 - (-3) = -9 + 3 = -6
The answer is -6.
