-99 = -9*11
176 = 16*11
Both factorizations have 11 show up. It turns out that 11 is the largest common factor.
Answer: C) 11
Note: if you divide both numerator and denominator by 11, then the fraction reduces to -9/16
Since the second equation gives a value for a, we can substitute it into the other equation to find a value for B.
Let's substitute b-2 into the first equation wherever there is an a.
a - 3b = 4
(b-2) - 3b = 4
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2 - 2b = 4
-2b = 6
b = -3
Now let's find a by substituting -3 into either of the equations to find the value of a.
a = b - 2
a = -3 - 2
a = -5
So your solution set is (-5, -3)
15. 16 yards. Add side a (2 yds.) and b (6 yds.), divide by 2 and then multiply by the height (4 yds.)
16. I believe it would be 48 m. find the area of each rectangle and then add it. (6x2)+(12x3) -> 12+36= 48 square meters.
Hope it helps! -cat
Answer:
x^2 + 4y^2 + 6x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Arranging the terms;
x ^ 2 + y^2 + 3y^2 + 4x + 2x + 2 + 2
x^2 + 4y^2 + 4x + 2x + 2 + 2
x^2 + 4y^2 + 6x + 2 + 2
x^2 + 4y^2 + 6x + 4
