(a) 95 = (x+7)*(x-7)
(b) 95 = (x+7)*(x-7)
Expand the brackets:
95 = x² -7x + 7x -49 = x² - 49
Subtract x² from both sides:
95-x² = -49
Subtract 95 from both sides:
-x²=-49-95
-x²= -144
Divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative numbers:
-x²/-1=-144/-1
x²=144
Take the square root of 144:
x = ± squareroot of 144
x = 12 or -12
x = 12 because you cannot have a negative age so Trina is 12 years old.
Answer:
1) D. (2, -6)
2) B. (3, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
idk how to explain just trust me
if u need any other questions answered message me brother
B = 2A/h
The way you would get this is first by clearing the fraction. So in order to clear the fraction, you have to multiply the equation by the denominator.
2(A = 1/2bh)
2A = 1bh
2A = bh
Then you have to isolate the variable. So you'd divide bh by h in order to get b by itself. So you'd end up with:
2A/h = bh/h
2A/h = b
Use the formula 1/2(base1+base2)height. Substitute the values.
<u>SOLUTION:</u>
General Equation: y = mx + b
.
Substitute slope = -2 into the equation:
y = -2x + b
.
Find the y-intercept:
4 = -2(-3) + b
4 = 6 + b
b = -2
.
Substitute b = -2 into the equation:
y = -2x - 2
.
Answer: y = -2x - 2
