5*a+2*b=23
5*a-2*b=7:
a=(23-2b)/5
b=(7+5a)/2:
a=(23-2*(7+5a)/2)/5
5a=23-7-5a
5a+5a=23
a=23/10
b=(7+5*23/10)/2
b=(7+23/2)/2=(37/2)/2=37

Answer: a = 10 and b= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x =5 y = 2

5a + 2b = 23-------(1)

5a - 2b = 7---------(2)

(1) -(2)

4b = 16

b = 16/4

b = 4

also, (1) + (2)

10a =30

a = 30/10

a = 3

3/2x=11/20

now you multiply 2/3 on both sides since you have to get x

11/20 * 2/3
x = 11/30

Explain why the initial value of any function of the form<br> f(x) = a(br) is equal to a.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:When you substitute 0 for the exponent x, the expression simplifies to a times 1, which is just a. This is because any number to the 0 power equals 1. Since the initial value is the value of the function for an input of 0, the initial value for any function of this form will always be the value of a
