Answer:
x/8 -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 2
y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it gives you the value of y already, just plug that into the equation, like so:
y = 4x - 9
x - 3 = 4x - 9
<em><u>Subtract the x from both sides:</u></em>
x - 3 = 4x - 9
-x - x
__________
-3 = 3x - 9
<em><u>Then, add 9 to both sides:</u></em>
-3 = 3x - 9
+9 + 9
________
6 = 3x
<em><u>Divide both sides by 3:</u></em>
2 = x
<em><u>Now plug in x for y:</u></em>
y = x - 3
y = 2 - 3
y = -1

Answer:
A, D
Step-by-step explanation:
The horizontal distance between the points is the difference of their x-coordinates.
A) 5.5 -(-6.5) = 12.0 . . . greater than 11
B) 4.7 -(-3.3) = 8.0
C) 11/3 -(-10/3) = 21/3 = 7
D) 2 -(-12) = 14 . . . greater than 11
Simplifying
b2 + -4b + -14 = 0
Reorder the terms:
-14 + -4b + b2 = 0
Solving
-14 + -4b + b2 = 0
Solving for variable 'b'.
Begin completing the square.
Move the constant term to the right:
Add '14' to each side of the equation.
-14 + -4b + 14 + b2 = 0 + 14
Reorder the terms:
-14 + 14 + -4b + b2 = 0 + 14
Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0
0 + -4b + b2 = 0 + 14
-4b + b2 = 0 + 14
Combine like terms: 0 + 14 = 14
-4b + b2 = 14
The b term is -4b. Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.
Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4b + 4 + b2 = 14 + 4
Reorder the terms:
4 + -4b + b2 = 14 + 4
Combine like terms: 14 + 4 = 18
4 + -4b + b2 = 18
Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(b + -2)(b + -2) = 18
Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.242640687
Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(b + -2) equal to 4.242640687 and -4.242640687. b + -2 = 4.242640687
Simplifying
b + -2 = 4.242640687
Reorder the terms:
-2 + b = 4.242640687
Solving
-2 + b = 4.242640687
Solving for variable 'b'.
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + b = 4.242640687 + 2
Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + b = 4.242640687 + 2
b = 4.242640687 + 2
Combine like terms: 4.242640687 + 2 = 6.242640687
b = 6.242640687
Simplifying
B = 6.242640687
Subproblem 2
b + -2 = -4.242640687
Simplifying
b + -2 = -4.242640687
Reorder the terms:
-2 + b = -4.242640687
Solving
-2 + b = -4.242640687
Solving for variable 'b'.
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + b = -4.242640687 + 2
Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + b = -4.242640687 + 2
b = -4.242640687 + 2
Combine like terms: -4.242640687 + 2 = -2.242640687
b = -2.242640687
Simplifying
b = -2.242640687
Yes it’s two!!! I think so!!
