Answer:
- c = -4.5
- z = 20
- x = -12
- a = -4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
A way to do this that will always work is ...
- eliminate parenthses and collect terms
- subtract any constants from the left side
- subtract any variable terms from the right side
- divide by the coefficient of the variable
1.
- 8c -11 -6c = -2
- 2c -11 = -2
- 2c = 9
- c = 4.5
2.
- 3z +4 -2z -9 = 15
- z -5 = 15
- z = 20
3.
- 12 -4x +18 = 36 +4x +18 -6x
- 30 -4x = 54 -2x
- -4x = 24 -2x
- -2x = 24
- x = -12
4.
- 36a -9a -5 = 6a -17
- 27a -5 = 6a -17
- 27a = 6a -12
- 21a = -12
- a = -12/21 = -4/7
Is this the whole question ?
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
5ax²-20x³+2a-8x
=5 x²(a-4x)+2(a-4x)
=(a-4x)(5x²+2)
Answer: They are parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are parallel , then they must have the same slope and if two lines are perpendicular , the product of their slope must be -1.
To check this , we must calculate the slope of the two lines given.
Slope = 
from the first point
= 2
= 1
= 5
= -1
substituting the values
slope 1 = 1 - 2 / -3 - 5
slope1 = -1 / -8
slope 1 = 1/8
Using the same format to calculate the slope of the second line
= -2
= 0
= -1
= 15
slope 2 = 0 - (-2) / 15 - (-1)
slope 2 = 2/16
slope 2 = 1/8
Since slope 1 = slope 2 , this implies that the lines are parallel
