I’m going to say multiply both sides by a which gives you:
a^2-ab-a=2

Answer:
(x1, x2) = (3, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
As with any 2-step linear equation, subtract the constant, then multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of the variable.

Performing the multiplication of the matrix by the vector gives the solution.
x = ((5)(1) +(-2)(-5))/5 = 15/5 = 3
y = ((-5)(1) +(3)(-5))/5 = -20/5 = -4
Using your variables, x1, x2, the solution is ...
(x1, x2) = (3, -4)
Answer:
154.8
Step-by-step explanation:
20% is equal to 20/100= 0.20. So, 0.20 multiplied by 129 will give you 20% of 129 which is 25.8. If Alan ran 20% more then you add 25.8 to 129 which gives you an answer of 154.8.
Equation: 20/100= 0.2
0.2* 129= 25.8
25.8+129= 154.8
Alan ran 154.8 laps.
