Solve the system of equations using the Addition method. 2a + 3b = -1 3a + 5b = -2

1 answer:

8 0

2a + 3b = -1
3a + 5b = -2

3(2a + 3b = -1) --> 6a + 9b = -3
2(3a + 5b = -2) --> 6a + 10b = -4
- ___________
b = -1

2a + 3(-1) = -1
2a - 3 = -1
2a = 2
a = 1

2(1) + 3(-1) = -1 --> 2 - 3 = -1
3(1) + 5(-1) = -2 --> 3 - 5 = 2

Answer:
a = 1
b = -1

Hope this helps.

Katherine and Crystal do landscaping. They recently earned $1472 for a project. If Katherine earned $5 for every $3 earned by Cr

Degger [83]

Answer:

Katherine: 920

Crystal: 552

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount earned by each is 1472

The ratio of the earnings is Katherine / Crustal = 5/3

The total number of shares = 5 + 3 = 8

So the proportion for Katherine

5/8 = x / 1472 Cross multiply

8x = 5 * 1472

8x = 7360

x = 7360/8

x = 920

And the proportion for Crystal is

3/8 = x / 1472 Cross multiply

8x = 3 * 1472

8x = 4416

x = 4416 / 8

x = 552

It has to have an average of 10 feet per minute for 5 minutes, which means in five minutes the total of feet would have to be 50.
So you would add all these numbers up and you would get 38.
50 - 38 = 12 so the answer is 12ft
