x² + 8x + 16

To answer this we want to split up the 'a' parts and 'b' parts of the question and answer them seperately because we can't answer the question with two letters. We can change one equation to b=16-6a and n...

The most instinctual method one would go by is to rearrange the terms so that one side of the equation will be equal to either x,y, or zero. In this case to avoid fractions it may be best to rearrange the...
