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

Answer:
34 Braids
Step-by-step explanation:
.85 per braid means 1 is 85 cents, 2 is $1.70 and so on. So normally you would just divide the total amount of money, so for instance if you had $2.55 you would be able to afford 3 braids, since 3 braids cost $2.55. in fact $2.56, $2.57 aaaaaaaaaaall the way up to $3.39 would be 3 braids, then $3.40 would be 4 braids.
Here though you first pay 3 dollars. so you need 3 first, then an extra 85 cents to get 1 braid. 2 braids is 3 dollars plus 1.70, 3 braids is 3 + 2.55 4 braids is 3 + 3.40 and so on.
So what you want to do is first take away that 3 dollars you need before the braids, then divide by .85. for instance $6.40 would get you 4 braids as I showed bcause 3 + 3.40 = 6.40. now 6.40 - 3 = 3.40 then 3.40 divided by .85 = 4
The problem says we start with$32, so lets do those steps. first 32 - 3 = 29. then 29 divided by .85 = 34.11. well it's not whole number so lets try something. 34 braids would be 3 + .85*34 = 31.90 and 35 braids would be 32.75 So 31.90, 31.91 aaaaaaaaall the way up to 32.74 would be 34 braids then 32.75 would be 35 braids. well, $32 is in that in between space, so it is 34 braids.
When I did 32 - 3 = 29. then 29 divided by .85 = 34.11 that 34.11 does actually tell us we wouldn't get to 35, I just wanted to make it very clear. so the answer is 34 braids.
