-9u + 3u = 9 + 9
-6u = 18
u = -18/6
u = -3
Thus, u is equal to -3
The answer is D. The last one
Answer:
Therefore values of a and b are

Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite
in the form
where a and b are integers,
To Find:
a = ?
b = ?
Solution:
..............Given
Which can be written as

Adding half coefficient of X square on both the side we get
...................( 1 )
By identity we have (A - B)² =A² - 2AB + B²
Therefore,

Substituting in equation 1 we get

Which is in the form of

On comparing we get
a = 3 and b = 2
Therefore values of a and b are

The answer is B (56) because it states that it takes 14 minutes to bake 40 cookies, and you already have 100 cookies so you would just add the time it took to bake 40 cookies which would be 42+14=56
