9a +8 -2a -3 -5a = 2a +5
9a verbal expression
-a^2- 9a - 18 = 0 -(a^2 + 9a + 18) = 0 -(a + 6)(a + 3) = 0
9a + 7b *remember to look and understand the letters!*
4a
9a +8 -2a -3 -5a = 2a +5
9a +8 -2a -3 -5a = 2a +5
2a+5a+9a = 16a
9a +8 -2a -3 -5a = 2a +5
(a - 6)(2a + 3)
9a + 3b - 11a - 4b = -2a -b
2a-5
2a+5
9a + 1
Collect like terms: 9a -7a = 9 - 15, ie 2a = -6, so a = -3
6 is the average of 2a and a - 2b so 12 = 2a + a - 2b = 3a - 2b3 is the average of 2a - b and 4a + 3b so 6 = 2a - b + 4a + 3b = 6a + 2bAdding the two equations gives: 18 = 9a so that a = 2Substituting for a in the first gives 12 = 6 - 2b so that b = -36 is the average of 2a and a - 2b so 12 = 2a + a - 2b = 3a - 2b3 is the average of 2a - b and 4a + 3b so 6 = 2a - b + 4a + 3b = 6a + 2bAdding the two equations gives: 18 = 9a so that a = 2Substituting for a in the first gives 12 = 6 - 2b so that b = -36 is the average of 2a and a - 2b so 12 = 2a + a - 2b = 3a - 2b3 is the average of 2a - b and 4a + 3b so 6 = 2a - b + 4a + 3b = 6a + 2bAdding the two equations gives: 18 = 9a so that a = 2Substituting for a in the first gives 12 = 6 - 2b so that b = -36 is the average of 2a and a - 2b so 12 = 2a + a - 2b = 3a - 2b3 is the average of 2a - b and 4a + 3b so 6 = 2a - b + 4a + 3b = 6a + 2bAdding the two equations gives: 18 = 9a so that a = 2Substituting for a in the first gives 12 = 6 - 2b so that b = -3
9a-99 = -90
