A+b= -10 2a+b=-33 what is the value of b in the system of equations shown above

1 answer:

4 0

Simplest method: elimination.
Subtract the first equation from the second one.

(2a+b=-33)-(a+b=-10) gets you to a=-23.

Now plug that in for a and solve.

-23 +b=-10

b=13

A table and 8 chairs weigh 235.68 lb together. If the table weighs 157.84 lb, what is the weight of one chair in pounds?

Alona [7]

Answer: 9.73 lb each chair

Step-by-step explanation:

You substract the weight of the table alone from the full weight:

235.68 - 157.84=77.84

Then you divide 77.84 by 8 chairs and you obtain the weight of each individual chair

77.84/8= 9.73 the weight of each individual chair
