If a = 1, find the values of b, c and d that make the given expression equivalent to the expression below. ar + 8
CI + d

To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.

Once you have simplified the expression, you get

-x-9/2x-4

But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write

x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4

So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
