I've been stuck on these for a while so I just want to make sure I understand them. Please check. Sorry.
12. Taking the x's and the constants to the other side, we get \(y=\frac{-6-x}{3x-1}.\)
12
3xy + x = y - 6 rearrange as
y - 3xy = x + 6 factor out y
y ( 1 - 3x) = x + 6 divide both sides by 1 - 3x
y = [ x + 6 ] / [ 1 - 3x ]
13
y^2 + 6y + 9 = x + 8 factor the left side
(y + 3)^2 = x + 8 take both roots
y + 3 = ±√ [ x + 8 ] subtract 3 from both sides
y = - 3 ±√ [ x + 8 ]
18 looks good
19
-(3x - 2)^2 + 3(3x - 2) + 10
- [ 9x^2 - 12x + 4] + 9x - 6 + 10
-9x^2 + 12x - 4 + 9x - 6 + 10
-9x^2 + 21x - 10 + 10
-9x^2 + 21x
Good job !!!!!
