Answer:
a= 2 b=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
a-3b=5
or, a= 5+3b_(i)
substituting value of a in 2a+b=3,
2×(5+3b)+b=3
or, 10+6b+b=3
or, 7b=3-10
or, 7b=-7
b= -1
substituting value of b in(i),
a=5+3b
=5+3×(-1)
=5-3
=2
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
2) -3x + 17 = -x - 3
4) 20 = 2x
1) -3x + 12 + 5 = -x -3
5) 10 = x
3) 17 = 2x - 3
<u>-3(x - 4) + 5 = -x - 3</u>
<u>-3x + 12 + 5 = -x - 3</u>
<u>-3x + 17 = -x -3</u>
<em>+3x +3x</em>
<u>17 = 2x - 3</u>
<em>+3 + 3</em>
<u>20 = 2x</u>
<u>10 = x</u>

B) 14.
If you start with subtracting the 8 pages from 50, you get 42 remaining pages. Then it says 2/3 of the REMAINING pages so you divide 42 into thirds. 42/3=14. You want 2/3 of that, so you multiply the 14 by two to get 28 (it's like there are three piles of 14 pages and you want only 2 out of the three piles). So now you've used 28 pages + the original 8. You've used a TOTAL of 36 pages. Subtract 36 from 50 and you get 14 left.
29 students have to be in the class. If 29 students each pay 2.75, they will raise up 79.75 dollars! :)
We know that <span>Isreal has 575779 ducks and Tyier has 585869698 ducks . To find how many they have in total we have to add them.

575779+585869698=586445477
