Hey there :)

We have two equations:
3a + 2b = 7 
2a + 2b = 9

We need to solve simultaneously to find the values of a and b

eq.1    3a + 2b = 7
eq.2 ( 2a + 2b = 9 ) x -1  ) multiply by -1 to cancel 2b

  3a + 2b = 7
- 2a - 2b = -9         ( Add both together )
-------------------
   a = - 2 

Substitute the value you found for a in a in order to find b

3( - 2 ) + 2b = 7                                                     2( - 2 ) + 2b = 9 
- 6 + 2b = 7                                    OR                  - 4 + 2b = 9
2b = 13                                                                   2b = 13        
b = \frac{13}{2}                                                                 b = \frac{13}{2}

Find g(x)-f(x) if f(x)=-3+4 and g(x)=5x-12
Verizon [17]

Answer: g(x)-f(x)=8x-16

Explanation:

f(x)=-3x+4  (I am assuming "-3+4" is a typo and it is "-3x+4")

g(x)=5x-12

g(x)-f(x)=(5x-12)-(-3x+4)=5x+3x-12-4=8x-16

Is 3.5 &gt; or &lt; or equal to 1/2
Sloan [31]
Simple, we know > sign is greater than sign and < sign means less than sign. We divide 1/2 and that gets us 0.5. 3.5 is greater than 1/2 so the answer would be 3.5>1/2
