Answer:

a=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

4a-14=7a-8

Subtract 7a from both sides:

4a-14-7a=7a-8-7a

Group like terms:

4a-7a-14=7a-8-7a

Simplify the arithmetic:

-3a-14=7a-8-7a

Group like terms:

-3a-14=7a=-7a-7a-8

Simplify the arithmetic:

-3a-14=-8

Add 14 to both sides:

-3a-14+14=-8+14

Simplify the arithmetic:

-3a=-8+14

Simplify the arithmetic:

-3a=6

Divide both sides by-3:

Cancel out the negatives:

Simplify the fraction:

Simplify the signs:

Find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator:

Factor out and cancel the greatest common factor:

What is the x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations
solniwko [45]
Use elimination method - I am eliminaing the y-variable.

1(5x + 8y = 16)    →    5x + 8y = 16
4(6x  - 2y = 54)    →  24x - 8y = 216
         Add equations: 29x       = 232
            Divide by 29:    x        = 8

Answer: x = 8

If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is equal to -8 , which statement describes the roots?
GaryK [48]

Answer: There are no real number roots (the two roots are complex or imaginary)

The discriminant D = b^2 - 4ac tells us the nature of the roots for any quadratic in the form ax^2+bx+c = 0

There are three cases

  • If D < 0, then there are no real number roots and the roots are complex numbers.
  • If D = 0, then we have one real number root. The root is repeated twice so it's considered a double root. This root is rational if a,b,c are rational.
  • If D > 0, then we get two different real number roots. Each root is rational if D is a perfect square and a,b,c are rational.
