9 thirds, there a three thirds in each whole
Comparing x-1 with x-a then x=1
1^3+p*1^2-1-2=0
1+2p-3=0
2p=3-1
P=2/2
P=1
:.p=1
Answer:x=-2 y=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
11x+4y=-46..........(1)
7x-4y=10..............(11)
Add (1) and (11)
11x+7x+4y-4y=-46+10
18x=-36
Divide both sides by 18
18x/18=-36/18
x=-2
substitute x=-2 in (11)
7x-4y=10
7(-2)-4y=10
-14-4y=10
Collect like terms
4y=-14-10
4y=-24
Divide both sides by 4
4y/4=-24/4
y=-6
