Answer:
6(2a+4)-4(3a-4)= (12a+24) +(-12a+16) = 40
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance d using the distance formula
d = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, 1)
d = 
= 
= 
= 
= 3
← exact value
≈ 6.71 ( to 2 dec. places )
The solution depends on the value of

. To make things simple, assume

. The homogeneous part of the equation is

and has characteristic equation

which admits the characteristic solution

.
For the solution to the nonhomogeneous equation, a reasonable guess for the particular solution might be

. Then

So you have


This means


and so the general solution would be
