Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange each equation so it is ready to be graphed on an x-y-axis (see image) look for the point where the two lines cross. This is the solution for the system of equations.
<h2>
Answer: a = ¹/₂ (4 + b)</h2>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
To solve for 'a' we have to make it the subject of the equation. Since there are two unknowns ('a' & 'b'), we won't get a numerical value of 'a', but an expression in terms of the second unknown 'b'.
Since 2a - b = 4 <em> [add 'b' to both sides]</em>
then 2a = 4 + b <em>[divide both sides by 2 = multiplying by ¹/₂]</em>
a = ¹/₂ (4 + b)
The correct answer is the last choice.
In a compound interest equation, the first value is the initial investment. In this case, it would be 5000. After the 5000, you would enter the rate that is being used.
