Brian needs to find the value of a number, a, so that when (x^2+3x) is added to the binomial (3x^2+ax), the sum simplifies to 4x

^2+12x. What is the value of a?

Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to add  (x^2+3x)  to (3x^2+ax),

(x^2+3x)+(3x^2+ax)

Expand

= x^2+3x+3x^2+ax

Collect the like terms

= x^2+3x^2+3x+ax

= 4x^2 + 3x + ax

= 4x^2+(3+a)x

Equate the solution to 4x^2+12x

4x^2+(3+a)x = 4x^2+12x

Comparing the like terms on both sides

(3+a)x =12x

3 + a = 12

a = 12 - 3

a = 9

Hence the value of a is 9

Value of x in the solution to the system of equations.<br> 6x+3y=13<br> 3x-y=4
just olya [345]
The two easiest ways to solve a system of equations (in my opinion) are to add the equations together while getting rid of a variable, or solving for a variable in one equation and plugging it into another. The latter is the method I will use.

3x - y = 4 (solve for y)
3x = 4 + y
3x - 4 = y
y = <span>3x - 4 </span>

Now we can plug y into the other equation:
<span>6x + 3y = 13
</span>6x + 3(<span>3x - 4) = 13
</span>6x + 9<span>x - 12 = 13
</span>15x = 25
x = 25/15
x = 5/3
The answer is x = 5/3

If you ever needed to find y as well, you can plug this into either equation to find y.
3x - y = 4
<span>3(5/3) - y = 4
</span>5 - y = 4
y = 1

Where would √130 be located on a number line
Artyom0805 [142]
144 = 12^2
121 = 11^2

so root(130) is between 11 and 12, so is about 11.4 on the number line.

hope this helps :)

Think about the commutative property of real-number operations as it applies to addition and subtraction of functions. How do yo
zavuch27 [327]
It is the same as commutative, just flipping the position of the numbers. For multiplication, it is the same. 3x2=2x3. But with division, you are dividing the second number from the first, so it matters what number is first and can affect it heavily.
