Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
process of elimination. the red dot is not a 1/4 of the number of lines, so it cant be 12.25, 13.625 is impossible because it has a value less than 13, and 12.625 is impossible as well because it has a value less than 12.5 therefore 12.375 is the best answer, and the only correct answer

Answer:
b = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
(k + a )(k + x) + 1 = k^2 + kx + ak + ax + 1
I think the way to solve this is to worry about the 36
k^s + 1 + ak should equal 36
We know that a = 2
k^2 + 1 + 2k = 36
k^2 + 2k + 1 - 36 = 0
k^2 + 2k - 35 = 0
(k + 7)(k - 5) = 0
k = -7 is the only acceptable answer. It is given that K < 0.
bx = kx + ax
b = k + a
b = - 7 + 2
b = - 5
