Since we divided by a negative 2 on both sides the sign switches and the answer is { a. x > -1 }
First ask yourselfhat needs to be dristributed.
That would be -1 (x-9)
To distribute you have to multiply the number out side of the parentheses (-1) by each term inside the parentheses( x and -9)
-1×x=-x
-1×-9=9
Now the expression is
-x+9+4x
To simplify you have to combine like terms (4x and-x)
4x-x=3x
Your answer is 9+3x or 3(3+x).
I believe the answer is 5x
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4
- 5a² + 1 = 0
Use the substitution u = a², then equation is
4u² - 5u + 1 = 0
Consider the product of the coefficient of the u² term and the constant term
product = 4 × 1 = 4 and sum = - 5
The factors are - 4 and - 1
Use these factors to split the u- term
4u² - 4u - u + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
4u(u - 1) - 1(u - 1) = 0 ← factor out (u - 1) from each term
(u - 1)(4u - 1) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for u
u - 1 = 0 ⇒ u = 1
4u - 1 = 0 ⇒ 4u = 1 ⇒ u = 
Convert u back into terms of a, that is
a² = 1 ⇒ a = ± 1
a² =
⇒ a = ± 
Solutions are a = ± 1 , a = ± 
Answer:
x=
−4y+32
9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve for x.
y=
−9
4
x+8
Step 1: Flip the equation.
−9
4
x+8=y
Step 2: Add -8 to both sides.
−9
4
x+8+−8=y+−8
−9
4
x=y−8
Step 3: Divide both sides by (-9)/4.
−9
4
x
−9
4
=
y−8
−9

x=
−4y+32
9
I think this is the right answer.
