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

Answer:

Option D: $7.59*10^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of Saturn is about $8.27*10^{14}\ km^{3}$

The volume of Earth is about $1.09*10^{12}\ km^{3}$

Dividing Saturn's volume by Earth's volume

$\frac{8.27*10^{14}}{1.09*10^{12}} =(\frac{8.27}{1.09})*10^{14-12} =7.59*10^{2}$
