Let's solve for x.
5x+15y=12
Step 1: Add -15y to both sides.
5x+15y+−15y=12+−15y
5x=−15y+12
Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.
5x

=
−15y+12

Answer:
x=−3y+12/5
Let's solve for y.
5x+15y=12
Step 1: Add -5x to both sides.
5x+15y+−5x=12+−5x
15y=−5x+12
Step 2: Divide both sides by 15.
15y

=
−5x+12

3 boxes of computer diskettes at $8.99 per box = (3 * 8.99 = 26.97 )
2 packages of pens at $ 2.50 per package = (2 * 2.50 = 5.00 )
6 boxes of paper at $ 22.95 per box = (6 * 22.95 = 137.70)
1 printer ribbon at $25 each. = (1 * 25 = 25)
Add up (26.97+5.00+137.70+25 ) and the answer is = 194.67
You can just 1) multiply the binomial by itself, or you can use 2) the square of a binomial pattern. I'll show it to you both ways.
1) Multiply the binomial by itself.
(3x - 2)^2 = (3x - 2)(3x - 2) =
Multiply every term of the first binomial by every term of the second binomial, then collect like terms. (This is often called using FOIL.)
= 9x^2 - 6x - 6x + 4
= 9x^2 - 12x + 4
2) Use the square of a binomial pattern
The square of a binomial is
(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab - b^2
a^2 is the square of the first term.
b^2 is the square of the second term.
-2ab is the product of the two terms and 2.
You have
(3x - 2)^2,
where the first term is 3x, and the second term is -2
square the first term: 9x^2
square the last term: 4
the product of the terms and 2 is: -12x
Put it all together, and you get
9x^2 - 12x + 4
just like we got above with the other method.
53,445,912. This answer is correct, as I did it by calculator. Good luck!
