Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
F(x) = x^2 - 8x + 5
f(-1) = -1^2 - 8(-1) + 5
f(-1) = 1 + 8 + 5
f(-1) = 14 <==
Answer:
84
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first digit = x
Let the second digit =y
x + y = 12
x + 4 = 3*y
===========
From the second equation, we learn that x = 3y - 4
Put that into the first equation.
3y - 4 + y = 12 Combine the left side
4y - 4 = 12 Add 4 to both sides
4y = 16 Divide by 4
4y/4 = 16/4
y = 4
=================
x + 4 = 12
x + 4 - 4 = 12-4
x = 8
So the number is 84
9:4
Divide both numbers by the number that is the LCM (in this case it is 5).
