Help me solve this equation and show work <br><br> 11d + 17b = 95 <br> d + b = 7
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

{d,b}={4,3}

Step-by-step explanation:

[1]    11d + 17b = 95

  [2]    d + b = 7

Graphic Representation of the Equations :

   17b + 11d = 95        b + d = 7  

 

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [2] for the variable  b

 [2]    b = -d + 7

// Plug this in for variable  b  in equation [1]

  [1]    11d + 17•(-d +7) = 95

  [1]    -6d = -24

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  d

  [1]    6d = 24

  [1]    d = 4

// By now we know this much :

   d = 4

   b = -d+7

// Use the  d  value to solve for  b

   b = -(4)+7 = 3

Solution :

{d,b} = {4,3}

The product of any two numbers is composite ( true/false) and why?
Reptile [31]
<u><em>FALSE.</em></u><em></em> 
A composite number is the opposite of a prime number. This is false because of the possibility of the following scenario:
The two numbers are 1 and a prime number.
This is because <em>one multiplied by any number is that number.</em> A prime number cannot become a composite number just because it is being multiplied by one. For example:
1 x 7 = 7 (prime) 
Hope this helps!
