<span>Multiply one of the equations so that both equations share a common complementary coefficient.
In order to solve using the elimination method, you need to have a matching coefficient that will cancel out a variable when you add the equations together. For the 2 equations given, you have a huge number of choices. I'll just mention a few of them.
You can multiply the 1st equation by -2/5 to allow cancelling the a term.
You can multiply the 1st equation by 5/3 to allow cancelling the b term.
You can multiply the 2nd equation by -2.5 to allow cancelling the a term.
You can multiply the 2nd equation by 3/5 to allow cancelling the b term.
You can even multiply both equations.
For instance, multiply the 1st equation by 5 and the second by 3. And in fact, let's do that.
5a + 3b = –9
2a – 5b = –16
5*(5a + 3b = -9) = 25a + 15b = -45
3*(2a - 5b = -16) = 6a - 15b = -48
Then add the equations
25a + 15b = -45
6a - 15b = -48
=
31a = -93
a = -3
And then plug in the discovered value of a into one of the original equations and solve for b.</span>
Negative 4 or -4 is the answer
Answer:
C. x 0 1 2 p(x) 0.35 0.60 0.05
Step-by-step explanation:
50% chance of survival
Let:
x = older eaglet survive
y = younger eaglet survive
Hence,
P(x = 0) (none of the eaglet survive)
P(x = 1) (only one survive)
P(x = 2) (both survive)
P(x) = 0.5
P(x') = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5
P(x n y) = 0.5 * 0.1 = 0.05 ( both survive)
P(only one survive)
P(y n x') + p(y' n x)
(0.5 * 0.3) + (0.5 * (1 - 0.1))
0.15 + 0.45 = 0.6
P(none survives)
1 - (0.60 + 0.05)
= 0.35
X _______ 0 ______ 1 ______ 2
P(x) ____ 0.35 ____ 0.60 ___ 0.05
Answer:
<h2><u>
154°</u></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The central angle and the angle between the tangents are supplementary, so
x + 26° = 180° ( subtract 26° from both sides )
26 - 26 = 0
180 - 26 = <u>154</u>
x = <u>154°</u>
Answer:
12,288
Step-by-step explanation:
aₙ = 3 (-2)ⁿ⁻¹
a₁₃ = 3 (-2)¹³⁻¹
a₁₃ = 12,288
