Split the second term in 3a^2 - 8a + 4 into two terms
3a^2 - 2a - 6a + 4 = 0
Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
a(3a - 2) -2(3a - 2) = 0
Factor out the common term 3a - 2
(3a - 2)(a - 2) = 0
Solve for a;
a = 2/3,2
<u>Answer : B. (2/3,2)</u>
Answer:
25% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the original amount of books and subtract the new number of books
20 -15 = 5
Divide by the original amount of books
5/20 = .25
Multiply by 100%
25%
It is a decrease since the amount went down
25% decrease
Step 1. Combine like terms
Step 2. Subtract 7 from both sides
Step 3. Divide 6 from both sides
Final answer: x=1/6
Answer:
x + 1
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this question we need to represent "y "in terms of "x" in the first equation, and the plug in the "y" value in the first equation into the second one. Luckily for us in the first equation it already shows what "y" is equal to in terms of "x" (based on the first equation y = -x + 10). Now we just need to plug in the value that we got instead of "y" in the second equation, and so we get....
y = 7x + 2
(plug in the y value and get the following ….)
-x + 10 = 7x + 2
(now just solve the following equation)
-x + 10 + x = 7x + 2 + x
10 = 8x + 2
10 - 2 = 8x + 2 - 2
8 = 8x
8/8 = 8x/8
1 = x
Now that we know the value of "x", all we need to do now is substitute the value of "x" into any of the equations and we will get the value of "y". So we do the following.....
y = 7x + 2
y = 7(1) + 2
y = 7 + 2
y = 9
Answer:
x+4 and y+3
Step-by-step explanation:
Both the x and y values move in positive directions from the first triangle to the second.
