The answer would be -4 because if you do -4 times 2x then you would get -8x. Then if you did -4 times -3 you would get 12. (A negative times a negative equals a positive)

Now let’s practice what you have learned.<br><br><br> Solve the equation.<br> 4y – 4 = 28

laiz [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4y-4=28

4y=28+4

4y=32

y=32/4

y=8

now plug in 8 for y and check the equation true:

4y-4=28

4*(8)-4=28

32-4=28

28=28

So, y is equal to eight 8

Given points A(-1, -2) and B(2, 4) where AP: BP=1:2, find the locus of point P.

koban [17]

Answer:

$x^2 + 4x + y^2 +8y = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = (-1,-2)$

$B = (2,4)$

$AP:BP = 1 : 2$

Required

The locus of P

$AP:BP = 1 : 2$

Express as fraction

$\frac{AP}{BP} = \frac{1}{2}$

Cross multiply

$2AP = BP$

Calculate AP and BP using the following distance formula:

$d = \sqrt{(x - x_1)^2 + (y - y_1)^2}$

So, we have:

$2 * \sqrt{(x - -1)^2 + (y - -2)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2}$

$2 * \sqrt{(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2}$

Take square of both sides

$4 * [(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2] = (x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2$

Evaluate all squares

$4 * [x^2 + 2x + 1 + y^2 +4y + 4] = x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 - 8y + 16$

Collect and evaluate like terms

$4 * [x^2 + 2x + y^2 +4y + 5] = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20$

Open brackets

$4x^2 + 8x + 4y^2 +16y + 20 = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20$

Collect like terms

$4x^2 - x^2 + 8x + 4x + 4y^2 -y^2 +16y + 8y + 20 - 20 = 0$

$3x^2 + 12x + 3y^2 +24y = 0$

Divide through by 3

$x^2 + 4x + y^2 +8y = 0$

4x²-y²=171 and 2x-y=9, value of 2x+y

11111nata11111 [884]

So you will need to solve for x and y before evaluating 2x+y....

2x-y=9, y=2x-9 now this will make 4x^2-y^2=171 become:

4x^2-(2x-9)^2=171

4x^2-(4x^2-36x+81)=171

36x-81=171

36x=252

x=7, now we can use 2x-y=9 to solve for y...

2(7)-y=9

14-y=9

-y=-5

y=5

now we know that x=7 and y=5, 2x+y becomes:

2(7)+5

14+5
