Answer:
xy = -1 and y = -1/x are the same.
They are not linear equations because they are not written in the form
Ax + By = C.
(3x-9) +(x+19)+x=180
5x+10=180
-10=-10
5x=170
5 = 5
x=34
2x+(2x+10)+x=180
5x+10=180
-10=-10
5x=170
5 = 5
x=34
yes they are similar
B. 361/4
you get: x^2-19x+361/4=(x-19/2)^2
