Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
since we know inflation is 3.7%, what is 3.7% of 1.69?
well is just (3.7/100) * 1.69.
that's how much the quart of oil costs more now. So simply add that to 1.69.
Answer:
b = 3 and a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
You have your given equation:
2a - 3b = -11
a + 3b = 8
You need to find what a and b is.
To find b:
2a - 3b = -11
-2a - 6b = -16
I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -2. When you multiply a number you have to multiply all of them. You have to choose a number that would cancel out all of a.
So now your equation would look like this when you solve for b:
2a - 3b = -11
-2a - 6b = -16
-------------------
a - 9 = -27 then you divide -9 to -27 which is 3 so b = 3.
To find a:
2a - 3b = -11
a + 3b = 8
I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -1 and 2a - 3b = -11 by -1 as well.
Your equation will look like this when you solve for a:
-2a + 3b = 11
-1a - 3b = -8
------------------
-3a = 3 then divide -3 to 3 which is -1 so a = -1.
Check to see if you have the correct answer by plugging in the number you got for a and b into the equation and solve.
1. 2(-1) -3(3) = -11
-2 - 9 = -11
2. -1 + 3(3) = 8
-1 + 9 = 8
Age of a dog (age is a number)
Answer:
a/9 - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B. Parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation 1 simplified: y = 3x+7
Equation 2 simplified: y = -x/3-3
The slopes are completely different, ruling out the possibility of the lines being parallel.
But we also see the slopes of the equations are opposite and negative to each other. Making the lines perpendicular.
