I believe the answer is 9
Solve <span>3x+2y-6=0 for y
2y-6=-3x
2y=-3x+6
y=-1.5x+3
So the slope of the reference line is -1.5. For two lines to be parallel they must have the same slope so our line will also have a slope of -1.5 so we have:
y=-1.5x+b, now we can solve for b given the point (0,0)
0=-1.5(0)+b
0=0+b
b=0 so our line is:
y=-1.5x</span>
I'm pretty sure you are looking for factored forms as an equivalent equation, so here is how you do it.
This equation would be solved by difference of squares. 16, x^4, and 81 are all perfect squares ( which means that it is a number multiplied by itself, 16 is 4 x4 for example). So the first thing you want to do is recall the formula which is
(a^2 - b^2) = (a - b)*(a + b)
(16x^4 - 81)= 0
Find the sq. root of 16 which is 4, and of x^4 which is x^2, and 81 which is 9. Now re write it in the (a - b)*(a + b) format. ----> (4x^2 - 9)*(4x^2 + 9) = 0
When you divide the top and bottom you get a decimal number. So you compare those. Or if you draw it out then you can see that 21/30 is bigger.
im sorry I want to help but it wouldnt load :'(
