Answer:

The end result is -1/(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer to this, we first need to factor the denominator. Since it is a quadratic, we try to find number that multiply to the last term (8) and add to the middle term (9). In this case, the numbers 8 and 1 would work. This allows us to use those numbers in parenthesis along with x as a fully factored form.

x^2 + 9x + 8 = (x + 1)(x + 8)

Now that we have this factored we can take the original equation and factor a -1 out of the top.

(-1)(x + 8)/(x + 1)(x + 8)

Since there is an (x + 8) on the top and bottom, we can cancel those.

-1/(x + 1)

Write an equation for the line in slope-intercept form​
quester [9]

Answer:

y = -3/1x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the slope

The points I will use are (-1,5) and (0,2), where x1 = -1, y1 = 5, x2 =0, and y2 =2.

y2-y1/x2-x1

2-5/0-(-1) = -3/1

2. Find the y-intercepy

y = mx + b

You can use any x or y point. I'll use (-1,5)

m= slope, which is -3/1

5= -3/1(-1) +b

5= 3 + b

Subtract 3 from 5 and 3 to get 2=b.

3. Rewrite in slope-intercept form

y = -3/1x + 2

At the theater, tickets for adults cost $4.75
shutvik [7]
X+y= 26 and 4.75x + 2.25y= 83.50

y=26-x( substitute this into second equation for y and solve for x)

4.75x + 2.25(26-x)= 83.50

4.75x + 58.5-2.25x= 83.50

x= 10

Now solve for y by substituting your answer for x

10+ y= 26

y=16

Therefore, 16 tickets were purchased for kids and 10 for adults.
