Hey there :)
We have two equations:
3a + 2b = 7
2a + 2b = 9
We need to solve simultaneously to find the values of a and b
eq.1 3a + 2b = 7
eq.2 ( 2a + 2b = 9 ) x -1 ) multiply by -1 to cancel 2b
3a + 2b = 7
- 2a - 2b = -9 ( Add both together )
-------------------
a = - 2 Substitute the value you found for a in a in order to find b
3( - 2 ) + 2b = 7 2( - 2 ) + 2b = 9
- 6 + 2b = 7 OR - 4 + 2b = 9
2b = 13 2b = 13
b =
b =
Answer:
All you need to remember is the rules
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us remember
a to the m power x a to the nth power is = a to the m+n power. (add the exponents)
And
a to the m power ÷ a to the nth power is = a to the m-n power. (subtract the exponents) So
14 to the -4 power x 14 to the 7 power= 14 to the -4+7 which is equal to 14 to the 3rd power
Answer:
X = 2?

Have a great day
I think it's -35. The steps to get that number is subtracting the 3 to the right side. Then you have -2 - 3 which equals to -5. Then you still have x/7= -5. Get rid of 7 from the x and do the same thing to the other side but you multiply 7 and -5. Last you your would be x= -35.
