Sorry I am a little late...
a = -2
b = -9
Here is how to solve the problem.
First thing I did was multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can eliminate the the b. After you multiply it by -2, your new equation is -16a + 8b = -40.
You leave the second equation alone and all you do is combine like terms. So -16a+5a is -11. And you eliminate the b. Then you're going to do -40+62 which is 22. So it's -11a=22 and then you have to solve for a. What I did was I multiplied the whole thing by minus to turn the a positive. So then it's 11a=-22. Pretty easy, the final step is to simplify. -22/11 is -2. ;D
So there you have your first answer.
a = -2
Now we're going to use the first answer to help us find b.
For the second equation, all you're going to do is plug in that a.
5 (-2)-8b=62
-10 - 8b = 62
Now we move the -10 to the other side...
-8b = 62 + 10
-8b = 72
Multiply the whole thing by negative once again to turn the b positive.
Now we have 8b = -72
The final step is to simplify. -72/11 = -9
b = -9
Hope this makes sense! Also I had the same question on my test and I got it right. :)
Answer:
x = -1 and y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2y = -3 . . . . . . . (i)
x + 5y = 4 . . . . . . . (ii)
- Finding x in terms of y from eq. (ii) :-
x + 5y = 4
x = 4 - 5y
- Placing this value of x in eq. (i) :-
5(4 - 5y) + 2y = -3
20 - 25y + 2y = -3
-23y = - 23
<u>y = 1</u>
- Placing the value of y in eq. (i)
5x + 2(1) = -3
5x + 2 = -3
5x = - 5
<u>x = -1</u>
10t+50=100
-50 -50
10t=50
10t/10=50/10
t=5
Answer:
V=706.85
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, first of when you want to find the volume of the cone you need to have a radius and hieght. And the radius is half the diameter, so divide the diameter into half: 10/2=5 in. and you already have the height so just plug in the numbers.
Formula: V= 

h ---> V= 
(
)(27)
And put the plugged in formula in your calculator and you'll find the answer!
V=706.85
I hope this helped.
