Step-by-step explanation:
given the 2 equations
y = x² - 2x - 19 → (1)
y + 4x = 5 → (2)
substitute y = x² - 2x - 19 into (2)
x² - 2x - 19 + 4x = 5 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
x² + 2x - 24 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 6)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
substitute each value of x into (1) for corresponding y- coordinate
x = - 6 : y = (- 6)² - 2(- 6) - 19 = 36 + 12 - 19 = 29 ⇒ (- 6, 29)
x = 4 : y = 4² - 2(4) - 19 = 16 - 8 - 19 = - 11 ⇒ (4, - 11)
the solutions are (- 6, 29), (4, - 11)
Start with

We observe that both fractions are not defined if
. So, we will assume
.
We multiply both numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3 and we sum the two fractions:

We multiply both sides by
:

We move everything to one side and solve the quadratic equation:

We check the solution:

which is true
All you have to do is combine like terms. 2c and (-c) are like terms (-5b) and (-b) are like terms and a is a term. So, 2c combined with (-c) is C. (-5b) and (-b) combined is (-6b). Since a doesnt need to be combined with anything, you leave it as it is so your answer will then be c - 6b + a (this is the answer assuming that there is a + in front of the a. If there is a - sign, then just change your +a to -a at the end
(18-7x)+1= -9 Hope this helps ^^
