Answer:

-34

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = -6

x + y + z = -2

We want 8a so multiply the first equation by 8

8( a + b) = -6*8

8a+8b = -48

We also want -7x so multiply the second equation by -7

-7(x + y + z) = -2*-7

-7x-7y-7z = 14

Add the two equations together

8a+8b = -48

-7x-7y-7z = 14

-------------------------

8a+8b-7x-7y-7z = -34

Rearranging the order

8a - 7x - 7z - 7y + 8b = -34

A line goes through the point (6,-2) and has a slope of -3. What is the value of a if the point (a,7) lies on the line?

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1} \\$

From the question the slope is - 3

To find the value of a we have

$- 3 = \frac{7 - - 2}{a - 6} \\ - 3 = \frac{7 + 2}{a - 6} \\ - 3(a - 6) = 9 \\ - 3a + 18 = 9 \\ - 3a = 9 - 18 \\ - 3a = - 9$

Divide both sides by - 3

$\frac{ - 3a}{ - 3} = \frac{ - 9}{ - 3} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
