9=5 -y/3
-5
3=-y/3
cross multiply
1=-y
y=-1
Answer:9a^2+18a-72
Step-by-step explanation:
9(a+1)^2-81
9(a+1)(a+1)-81
Open brackets
9(a^2+a+a+1)-81
9(a^2+2a+1)-81
9a^2+18a+9-81
9a^2+18a-72
Answer:
$750 that is the answer if you add them all up
There is a way to do this algebraically using equations, but it is really messy so I am going to go over the way to do it. The way you do this is by finding whole numbers that multiply to make -192. Start with 1 and 192, 2 and 96, 3 and 64, etc and make the smaller number negative.
The reason why you make the smaller number negative is because we are looking for what numbers add together to make a positive number (10). If the bigger number was negative, then we would get a negative sum.
From what i could find, there aren't any whole numbers that satisfy this, and i doubt that the question would want you to find decimals for this.
The way to find this with equations (in short) is to have to variables, x and y, and make two equations. in this case x+y=10 and xy=-192. Solve one equation for a variable and then use substitution to plug that variable into the other equation. if you do this you get really long decimals.
