Answer:
a = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
you can solve this proportion by cross-multiplying:
4(a + 9) = -1(a + 4)
now distribute to eliminate parentheses
4a + 36 = -1a - 4
5a + 36 = -4
5a = -40
a = -8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is expressed as
x1 + 2x2 = -24- - - - - - - - --1
x1 + 7x2 = -11- - - - - - - --2
We would eliminate x1 by subtracting equation 2 from equation 1. It becomes
- 5x2 = - 13
Dividing both sides of the equation by - 5, it becomes
- 5x2/- 5 = - 13/- 5
x2 = 13/5
Substituting x2 = 13/5 into equation 2, it becomes
x1 + 7 × 13/5 = -11
x1 + 91/5 = - 11
x1 = - 11 - 91/5
x1 = - 146/5
Answer:
the factor of 12 is 1 2 3 4 6 12 so that
-3(n+4)
Both A and D are negative products.
