A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(2a)(4ab) - (6a²)(4b)
(2 x 4)(a x a x b) - (6 x 4)(a² x b)
(8)(a¹⁺¹ x b) - (24)(a²b)
8a²b - 24a²b
-16a²b

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of y:

9a + y = -2
y = -2 - 9a

then substitute the result (-2 - 9a) into the second equation:

8a - 8(-2 - 9a) = -2
8a + (-8 x -2) + (-8 x -9a) = -2
8a + 16 + 72a = -2
8a + 72a = -2 - 16
80a = -18
a = \( \frac{-18}{80} \)
a = -\(\frac{9}{40}\)
