A could be 2 while B could be 3, so -2a+3b turns into -4+9, which equals 5.
From what I know you can't really solve a a single equation with two-variables so it's just a matter of trial and error.
Just try plugging in a small number like 2 for a just to try it and you get 8b^2=72.
Divide everything by 8 to isolate b and you get that b^2=9.
Square root everything and you'll find that b=3. This is just one possible combination, I'm sure there are many more but this is obviously the one that was intended to be found.
Now that we know that a=2 and b=3 just plug them into the equation.
-2(2)+3(3)=?
-4+9=?
5
Sorry about having to use this ^ symbol, the equation maker is not working.
Answer:
d = 16.88
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by simplifying both sides of the equation then isolate the variable
(40-10)/7
The maximum amount of money she wants to spend is $40
Her adult ticket costs $10
She will pay for the children’s tickets with the remaining money
Each child’s ticket costs $7
To find the number of children she can take we need to use this expression (40-10)/7
Mrs Herñàndez can take 4 children
For the given triangle, the tan of angle A equals 
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
In the given triangle for angle A, the opposite side has a length of 6 cm, the adjacent side has a length of 8 cm while the hypotenuse of the triangle measures 10 cm. To calculate the tan of angle A we divide the opposite side's length by the adjacent side's length.

Step 2:
The opposite side's length = 6 cm.
The adjacent side's length = 8 cm.

I just answered this.... :]
x - 0.05x = 57,
0.95x = 57,
57/0.95 = original price
Original price = $60
