Given equations are;<span>
2a + 3b = -1   ..................equation 1
3a + 5b = -2  ....................equation 2</span>

Now multiply equation 1 with (-3)

The equation will be;

-6a -9b = 3 …………………..equation 3

Now multiply equation 2 with (2)

The equation will be;

6a + 10b = -4 ……………..equation 4

Now add equation 3 and equation 4

-6a – 9b = 3

<span>6a  + 10b = -4</span>

<span>------------------------------</span>

0a + b = -1

b = -1

Now put the value of b in equation 1

2a + 3(-1) = -1

2a -3 = -1

2a = -1+3

2a = 2

a=1

Thus the solution is (a,b) = (1,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

45 is 3/4 or 75% of an hour. So, multiply 52 by 75% to find the answer.

75% ÷ 100 = 0.75

52 x 0.75 = 39

The population of a town is 14,000 and is decreasing at a rate of 1.5% each year. Write an exponential decay equation to find th
sergejj [24]

Answer: the population after 10 years is 12036

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^ t

Where

A represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

P = 14000

r = 1.5% = 1.5/100 = 0.015

t = 10 years

Therefore, the exponential decay equation to find the population of the town after 10 years is

A = 14000(1 - 0.015)^10

A = 14000(0.985)^10

A = 12036
