Maricella solves for x in the equation 4 x minus 2 (3 x minus 4) + 4 = negative x + 3 (x + 1) + 1. She begins by adding –4 + 4 on the left side of the equation and 1 + 1 on the right side of the equation. Which best explains why Maricella’s strategy is incorrect?

the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996

step-by-step explanation:

in synthetic division, use -6 as the divisor and use the coefficients {4, -3, 5, 6}:

-6     )   4     -3     5     6

                -24   162 -1002

          4   -27   167   -996

thus, the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996.

note:   your "4x°-3x+5x+6" is ambiguous / incomplete.   i had to assume that you meant '4x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x + 6."

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.

y=3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

given the points a(0,4) and b(-4, -8)

eqn of line ab: (y-4)/(x-0)=(-8-4)/(-4-0)

(y-4)/x=-12/-4=3

y=3x+4
