1. 8x^2 + 10x - 9
2. 3x^4 - 14x^2 - 9
3. 4x^2 + 5x - 9
4. 8x^2 + 10x - 18

4.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^2 + 7x - 9) + (3x^2 - 2x) + (x^2 + 7x - 9) + (3x^2 - 2x)

x^2 + 7x - 9 + 3x^2 - 2x + x^2 + 7x - 9 + 3x^2 - 2x

Rearranging order:

3x^2 + 3x^2 + x^2 + x^2 + 7x + 7x - 2x - 2x - 9 - 9

Combine like terms

8x^2 + 10x - 18

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
