Answer: b = - a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that b is located the same distance from 0 as another number a, but in opposite direction.

If b varies directly as a

Then,

b = - ka

Hence the opposite variation or relationship between a and b means they both carry opposite signs

Hence,

b = - a

sasho [114]

we are given

system of equations

First equation is

3x-2y=31

Second equation is

3x+2y=-1

now, we can find augmented matrix

A=\begin{pmatrix}3&-2&31\\ 3&2&-1\end{pmatrix}

now, we can change it into reduced row echelon form

step-1: multiply the 1st row by 1/3

A=\begin{pmatrix}1&-2/3&31/3\\ 3&2&-1\end{pmatrix}

step-2:add -3 times the 1st row to the 2nd row

A=\begin{pmatrix}1&-2/3&31/3\\ 0&4&-32\end{pmatrix}

step-3:multiply the 2nd row by 1/4

A=\begin{pmatrix}1&-2/3&31/3\\ 0&1&-8\end{pmatrix}

step-4: add 2/3 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

A=\begin{pmatrix}1&0&5\\ 0&1&-8\end{pmatrix}

so, we get

x=5,y=-8

Answer is (5,-8)
