The answer is 14 because a negative number multiplied by another negative number is positive. So (-7)*(-2) is 14.
Evaluate (2 a + b)^2/(3 b - 1) where a = -2 and b = 5:
(2 a + b)^2/(3 b - 1) = (5 - 2×2)^2/(3×5 - 1)
3×5 = 15:
(5 - 2×2)^2/(15 - 1)
| 1 | 5
- | | 1
| 1 | 4:
(5 - 2×2)^2/14
2 (-2) = -4:
(-4 + 5)^2/14
5 - 4 = 1:
1^2/14
1^2 = 1:
Answer: 1/14
The answer in simplest form is 1/4.
The taxes are figured as follows: 0.089(value of car)
Here the taxes are 0.089(value of car) = $1100.
Divide both sides of this equation by 0.089 to determine the value of the car.
value of car = $12359.55, or approx $12360.
First distribute the 2 through the parenthses on the right side.
So we have y - 4 = 2x + 8.
In slope-intercept form, the y is by itself on the left side.
So we add 4 to isolate the y on the left to get y = 2x + 12.
So in slope-intercept form, our equation is y = 2x + 12.
