Each spot in the matrix should equal the same spot in the other matrix. See how the constants match up?

So then you have two equations for the two spots with a' and b's.
a + 2b = -a
a + 4 = 2a - 3b

That first equation tells us that b = -a 
a + 2b = -a
2b = -2a
b = -a

Sub -a in for b in the other equation.

a + 4 = 2a - 3(-a)
a + 4 = 2a + 3a
a + 4 = 5a
4 = 5a - a
4 = 4a

a = 1
then b = -1

We need the following to be true
a+2b = -a
a+4 = 2a - 3b

Let's look at the first equation.
a + 2b = -a
Subtract both sides by a
2b = -2a
b = -a

Substitute b= -a into the second equation
a+4 = 2a + 3a
a + 4 = 5a
4a = 4
a = 1

Just take the negative of that and you get the value of b.
b = -1

Your solution is a=1 and b = -1.

Have an awesome day! :)

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i believe you just have to add the fractions together since the denominator are the same :)

\frac{6}{8}  + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{6 + 5}{8} = \frac{11}{8}

So in total Hazel can produce \frac{11}{8} Liters of juice

What is the sum of the interior angles of the polygon shown below?
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

540°

Step-by-step explanation:

Just divide the shape into triangles and count the number of triangles. This is what your formula is doing for you. It's telling you how many triangles make up the shape and then multiplying that number by 180 degrees to find the sum of your interior angles.
