If 5a=-4b+5 and 3a=-2b+3, what is 6b?

1 answer:

6 0

There are two equations and two variables. You can solve for each variable using either the elimination method or the substitution method. Here, I believe the elimination method would be best:
5a = -4b + 5
3a = -2b + 3
You can multiply the second equation by two, so the 4b and -4b in both equations will cancel each other out when you add them. So:
5a = -4b +5
6a = 4b +6
Add both equations together.
11a = 11
a = 1
Plug in the a value into any of the previous equations:
5(1) = -4b + 5
-4b = 0
b = 0
So, since we know that b = 0, 6b is also 0.

Mama L [17]

The polynomial $3x^5 + 7x^6 + 11x^7 - 12x - 10$ is in standard form if the exponents are arranged in decreasing order.

<h3>Polynomial in Standard Form</h3>

Polynomial is an algebraic expression with one or more terms. For example : $2x^3+6x^4+x^2+x+2$ . In this example and in your exercise the exponents of the terms are not arranged in order.

Um polynomial is in <u>Standard Form</u> when the exponents of the terms are in decreasing order. See more details below.

$2x^3+6x^4+x^2+x+2$ is not in standard form because the exponents are not written in decreasing order.

$6x^4+2x^3++x^2+x+2$ is in standard form because the exponents are written in decreasing order.

Therefore, the given polynomial will be in standard form if yours exponents are arranged in decreasing order.

K=mv^2/2 solve for v

matrenka [14]

Answer: $v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2K}{m} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

First, multiply by 2 to get rid of the 2 in the denominator. Remember that if you make any changes you have to make sure the equation keeps balanced, so do it on both sides as following;

$2*K=\frac{mv^2}{2}*2$
