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

Which is equivalent?
Arlecino [84]

Steps to simplify:

(2x + 3)(x - 7)

~Use FOIL to multiply

(2x * x) + (2 * -7) + (3 * x) + (3 * -7)

~Simplify

=2x² - 14x + 3x - 21

~Combine Like Terms

2x² + (-14x + 3x) - 21

~Simplify

2x² - 11x - 21 (Option 2)

Best of Luck!
