A could be 2 while B could be 3, so -2a+3b turns into -4+9, which equals 5.
From what I know you can't really solve a a single equation with two-variables so it's just a matter of trial and error.
Just try plugging in a small number like 2 for a just to try it and you get 8b^2=72.
Divide everything by 8 to isolate b and you get that b^2=9.
Square root everything and you'll find that b=3. This is just one possible combination, I'm sure there are many more but this is obviously the one that was intended to be found.
Now that we know that a=2 and b=3 just plug them into the equation.
-2(2)+3(3)=?
-4+9=?
5
Sorry about having to use this ^ symbol, the equation maker is not working.
Answer:
4.0148 rounded to the nearest thousand is 0, but if you meant rounded to the nearest thousandth, it would be 4.015 because the 8 in the ten thousandth column would cause the 4 in the thousandth column to round up to 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 3 + a + 10b
Step-by-step explanation: combine like terms
Let's solve this by using the quadratic formula:

Note that we only use the coefficients so a=12, b=-14, and c=-6.
Plug values in the quadratic equation:

And so by evaluating those values we obtain:

Now we have two answers which are our factors one where we add another where we subtract and so:
First factor:

Second Factor:

And so your factors are

meaning that those are your roots/x-intercepts.
