8a - 4b = 205a - 8b = 62What are the values of a and b?​

Mathematics
1 answer:
erastovalidia [21]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a=2 , b= (-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

8a-4b=20/×(-2)

5a-8b=62

-16a+8b= -40

5a-8b=62

now -8+8=0 right? so the only parameter that we have is a.

-16a+5a= -40+62

11a = 22/(÷11)

a=2

in order to find b, we will replace a with its value in one of the original equations (it doesn't matter which one you will choose).For instance, I chose the first one.

8×2-4b=20

-4b=20-16

-4b=4/÷(-4)

b= -1

Rafael sold t-shirts and hats at a festival. He made a $3 profit for each t-shirt he sold. He also made a profit $45 from sellin
drek231 [11]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

The total profit is $93

He made a $45 profit selling hats

The question says he only sold t-shirts and hats

Since we are solving for the amount of t-shirts sold we subtract $45 from $93 and get $48 dollars earned from t-shirts

He makes $3 per t-shirt

We divide the amount per t-shirt by the total t-shirt money earned

This looks like: 48/3

We get 16 as our answer

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The sample space for one spin of this game is: S = {00, 0, 1, 2, 3,…, 40}

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

In probability theory, the set of all possible outcomes or outcomes of that experiment is the sample space of an experiment or random trial. Using set notation, a sample space is usually denoted and the possible ordered outcomes are identified as elements in the set.

Here the possible number of elements in the set are 00, 0, 1, 2,...,40

The sample space is anything the ball can land on.

Thus, the sample space for one spin of this game is: S = {00, 0, 1, 2, 3,…, 40}
