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

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.

A fish market bought two swordfish at a rate of $13 per pound. the cost of the larger fish was 3 times as great as the cost of t
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Very simple. divide 3952 by 4, because the larger fish is 3 times the amount of the small fish, so there are 4 groups. Multiply it by 3 for the larger fish and keep it for the small fish.  Then, divide the products by 13 because the quotient is the amount of money each fish costs. There you have your answer!

Trying to find the missing segment to the triangle in the attached image.
Inga [223]

Answer:

44 units length

Step-by-step explanation:

The side splitter theorem states that if a line is parallel to a side of a triangle and the line intersects the other two sides, then this line divides those two sides proportionally. Therefore:

20/10 = x/22

20/10*22 = x

44 = x

Leon drew a life cycle of Insect M as shown below.
tankabanditka [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Larval mosquitoes breath through trachea in their siphons. This is a structure analogous to the snorkel on a diesel electric submarine. It allows for gas exchange with the atmosphere while the remainder of the insect is submerged. The opening of the siphon is hydrophobic so it won’t get wet and blocked by water. This works well to keep the siphon and the trachea open under normal conditions. Oil when poured on water forms a thin film. When there are mosquitos in that water, when their siphons contact the oil layer, the oil wets and blocks their siphons and suffocates the mosquitoes. This works against most, but not all mossies, as evolution is an amazing process. Some mosquitoes (Mansonia, Coquilletidia) have a siphon designed to penetrate the air vessels in aquatic plants and they don’t need to come to the surface to breath like other mossies. So oil won’t work on these genera.
