I think this is what you are looking for:

(+)2=42

(

2+2+2=16

a

∴2+2=16+2×12=40

∴

Now, (−)2=2+2−2=40+2×12=64

∴(−)=64‾‾‾√=±8

∴

(

a

=

So, 2−2=(+)(−)

a

2−2=(4)(±8)=±32

a

Hope that helps and sorry if it is confusing!

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answers are in bold:

-1=3x-2

add 2 to both sides

-1+2=3x-2+2

1=3x

divide both sides by 3

1÷3=3x÷3

1/3=x

-3x=9

divide both sides by -3

-3x÷-3=9÷-3

x=-3

-10=-5x

divide both sides by -5

-10÷-5=-5x÷-5

2=x

I hope this is good enough:

Virty [35]

Answer:

C) (3 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

y is greater than 2x - 7.

Note the point values (x , y). y, in this case, must be greater than x after it is simplified.

(-2) > 2(3) - 7

-2 > 6 - 7

-2 > -1

(False).

~

(4 , 1)

Plug in 4 for x, and 1 for y:

(1) > 2(4) - 7

1 > 8 - 7

1 > 1

(False).

~

(3 , 2)

Plug in 3 for x, and 2 for y:

(2) > 2(3) - 7

(2) > 6 - 7

2 > 1
