<u>Answer</u>:
Jared is right.
<u>Explanation</u>:
proof 1:
10 - 4 = 6
6 = 6
second proof:
10-3 - 4 = 6 - 3
10 - 7 = 3
3 = 3
third proof:
10 - 4 - 3 = 6 - 3
10 - 7 = 3
3 = 3
Hence for all LHS = RHS proved and Jared is correct.
Answer:
y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
6-(-3)=9
so...
14-9=5
In this problem, we need to plug in the given x values for

and find a and b.
When we plug in 1, we get:

Simplify:



We got our first statement about the values of the variables. If we find one more we can find those 2 variables.
We have another given root: 4.
Plug it in:




Now we have our second one. We can combine them:

I use elimination method which is easier here.
Multiply the top equation by -1:

Add them up:

Simplify:

Now we have a, we can plug in one of those equations to find b:



So, the answers are

and

.
