Equation 1: 4a + 6b = 10

*Subtract 6b on the right side of the equation
4a = 10 - 6b

*Divide 4 on the right side of the equation, leaving the variable all by itself
a = 10 - 6b / 4
a = (5 - 3b) / 2

Equation 2: 2a - 4b = 12

*Substitute (5 - 3b) / 2 for 'a' in the second equation
2(5 - 3b) / 2)) - 4b = 12

*Combine like terms
5 - 3b - 4b = 12
5 - (-7b) = 12

*Subtract 5 to both sides
5 - 5 - (-7b) = 12 - 5
-7b = 7

*Divide -7 to both sides
-7b / -7 = 7 / -7
b = -1

*Substitute -1 for 'b' 
2a - 4(-1) = 12
2a + 4 = 12

*Subtract 4 to both sides
2a + 4 - 4 = 12 - 4
2a = 8

*Divide 2 to both sides
2a / 2 = 8 / 2
a = 4

12a = ?

*Substitute 4 for 'a'
12(4) = 48

12a = 48

12a=x
4a+6b=10
2a+3b=5
2a-4b=12
a-2b=6
2a+3b+1=a-2b
a+5b+1=0
a=-1-5b

2(-1-5b)+3b=5
-2-10b+3b=5
-2-7b=5
-7b=7
7b=-7
b=-1

-1-5*-1=a
-1+5=a
4=a

4*12=48
12a=48

Hope this helps :)

A theatre collected $100 from all the 100 attendees in the audience. The prices of the tickets were $10 for adults, $3 for frien
monitta
You can write a system of equations, I'm pretty sure. 
the first equation would be 
10a+3f+.5c=100
and 
a+f+c=100

For the first equation, its the price of each ticket that adds up to 100 tickets
For the second equation, its the amount of people that adds up to 100 people.

I'm pretty sure this is the route to go but I haven't solved it for myself (yet) I'll probably comment the answer if you need me to

F(x) = 1/x g(x)=x-4 can you evaluate (g*f)(0) ? Why or why not?
Dmitriy789 [7]

(g\cdot f)(x)=\dfrac{1}{x}-4

D_{g(f(x))}:x\not =0

No, since 0 doesn't belong to the domain.
