Step 1:

Line up respective variables in column.

8a-4b=20.................(1)

5a-8b=62.................................(2)

Step 2:

We need to multiply first equation with -2 so that the coefficient of b becomes equal and opposite of -8.

8a-4b=20 *2

-16a + 8b=-40 ...................(3)

Step 3:

Add equation (2) and (3)

5a-8b=62

-16a+8b=-40

The b terms will cancel out and we are left with only a terms.

-11a = 22

dividing both sides by -11

a=-2

Step 4:

plug this value of a in equation (1) to find value of b,

8a-4b=20

8(-2)-4b=20

-16-4b=20

b=-9

Answer : a=-2 and b =-9

John looked at his bank account and noticed that he had $2,029.90 in his account. All that he could remember is that he created
Over [174]

We will have that for the previous year, he had in the account:

m_{y6}=2029.90-\frac{2029.90\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y6}=1908.106

For the year previous to that one, he had:

m_{y5}=1908.106-\frac{1908.106\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y5}=1793.61964

For the previous year to that, he had:

m_{y4}=1793.61964-\frac{1793.61964\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y4}=1686.002462

For the year previous to that one, he had:

m_{y3}=1686.002462-\frac{1686.002462\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y3}=1584.842314

For the second year that the money was in the account, there was:

m_{y2}=1584.842314-\frac{1584.842314\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y2}=1489.751775

And the orinial ammount of money that was in the account was:

m_{y1}=1489.751775-\frac{1489.751775\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y1}=1400.366669

From this, we know that Jhon had originally $1400.37 in the bank account.

Will this happen in avenger 4?
Marizza181 [45]

In chess, the Endgame is where you sacrafice pawns, or in this case, minor characters in order to get a powerful piece back. You can leave some pawns in battle while regaining power pieces. The pawns sacraficed were Peter, Stephen, Bucky, Drax, T'challa. Mantis, etc. While leaving behind two pawns: Nebula, and Bruce Banner. Normally I like to think of the Hulk as a Rook, but since he's completely useless at the moment, he's a pawn. Nebula's fairly worthless, so she's a pawn. Thanos is playing with all power pieces and one pawn: Gamora. He sacraficed his pawn in order to complete his queen equivilence: the gauntlet. Now he's playing with all power pieces, while the Avenger's have sacraficed their pawns in order to get their queen: Captain Marvel, who in turn will wage war on Thanos only to find that a pawn has made it across the board and turned into the Hulk, and fights side by side the original Avengers to get the soul stone, revive Tony, who probably dies, get their friends home, welcome new friends, and kill Thanos.

Sorry about the rambling. I'm not even sure if I got to the point.
