Answer:

a=28; b=20.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 2*(-4)=(a+b)+(-2a) and .

2) using the two equations it is possible to make up (then solve) the next system:

\left \{ {{2*(-4)=(a+b)+(-2a)} \atop {2*8=3b+(2b-3a)}} \right. \ => \ \left \{ {{-a+b=-8} \atop {-3a+5b=16}} \right. \ => \ \left \{ {{a=28} \atop {b=20}} \right.

Simplify <br> -4x+2x2-x2+5-3x
Serga [27]

Answer:

9 - 7x - x²

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x+2x2-x²+5-3x = -4x-3x+2x2+5-x²

I arranged the like terms together so it is easier to do the calculations.

-4x-3x+2x2+5-x² = -7x+4+5-x²

Simplify.

-7x+4+5-x² = 9-7x-x²
