Answer:

       a = 3

        b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simultaneous equation

              3a = 2b + 1

         3a - 2b = 1  ------------------(I)

               3b  = 5a - 3

       -5a + 3b = -3 --------------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by 3  & equation (II) by  2 and then add. So, now 'b' will be eliminated and we can find the value of 'a'.

(I)*3       9a - 6b = 3

(II)*2    <u>-10a + 6b = -6</u>  {Now add}

            -a            = -3

                       a = -3/(-1)

        \sf \boxed{a  = 3}

Plugin a = 3 in equation (I)

              3*3 - 2b = 1

                  9 - 2b = 1

                     -2b  = 1 - 9   {Subtracting 9 from both sides}

                      -2b = - 8        

                         b = (-8)/(-2)         {Dividing both sides by (-2_}

          \sf \boxed{b = 4}

Answer:

  (a, b) = (3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to eliminate one of the variables in this system of equations, both equations need to be multiplied by different numbers before they are added or subtracted. We can eliminate the 'b' variable by subtracting 3 times the first equation from 2 times the second. (Putting the 'b' terms on the same side of the equal sign makes this easier.)

__

  2(3b) -3(2b +1) = 2(5a -3) -3(3a)

  6b -6b -3 = 10a -6 -9a

  3 = a . . . . . . . add 6 and collect terms

  3b = 5(3) -3 . . . . use the second equation to find b from a

  b = 4 . . . . . . . divide by 3

The solution is (a, b) = (3, 4).

_____

The multiplier used in each case is the coefficient of the variable in the other equation. The two equations have 'b' coefficients of 2 and 3, so we multiplied the equations by 3 and 2 before subtracting. That makes the 6b terms cancel, leaving only terms with the 'a' variable.

By swapping sides of the equation the way we did, the 'a' terms end up on the same side of the equal sign, which is where we want them. Likewise, the 'b' terms end up on the same side of the equal sign, so their cancellation is easier to see.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Milford location has a higher ratio of hamsters to gerbils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A pet supply chain called Pet City has 5 hamsters and 10 gerbils for sale at its Lanberry location.

At its Milford location, there are 13 hamsters and 16 gerbils.

Now, to find the location who has a higher ratio of hamsters to gerbils.

Ratio of hamsters to gerbils at Lanberry location = 5:10.

=\frac{5}{10}=0.50

                                                                         

Ratio of hamsters to gerbils at Milford location= 13:16.

=\frac{13}{16} =0.8125

                                                       

<em>So, 0.8125 > 0.50.</em>

<em>Thus, </em><u><em>13:16 > 5:10.</em></u><em> </em>

Therefore, Milford location has a higher ratio of hamsters to gerbils.

Find the measure of the missing angle <br><br> Help please
almond37 [142]

Answer:

≈ 56°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin ? = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{34}{41} , then

? = sin^{-1} ( \frac{34}{41} ) ≈ 56° ( to the nearest degree )

Exprees the ratio 3 inches to 3 feet(12 inches = 1 foot)
taurus [48]

Ratio being 12in./1ft.

3 inches is not one foot. it's 1/4 of a foot. 3in./1/4ft.

3 feet = 36 inches.

36in./3ft.

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
