Step 1:
Line up respective variables in column.
.................(1)
.................................(2)
Step 2:
We need to multiply first equation with -2 so that the coefficient of b becomes equal and opposite of -8.
*2
...................(3)
Step 3:
Add equation (2) and (3)
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,
b=-9
Answer : a=-2 and b =-9
Answer:
Option C, 6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Substitute y in the equation 3x - 5y = 22</u>
3x - 5y = 22
3x - 5(-5x + 32) = 22
3x + 25x - 160 + 160 = 22 + 160
28x / 28 = 182 / 28
x = 6.5
Answer: Option C, 6.5
You subtract y from 425, I can read #5 or is help
3(2x+1) If you multiply this out, you will get 6x+3.
A = 4(6x + 3)
A = 4(6x) + 4(3)
A = 24x + 12
The answer is 24x+12.
