Let b>a, 

a+b=40 so we can say a=40-b

We are told that b-a=6.5, using a found above in the equation gives us:

b-(40-b)=6.5

b-40+b=6.5

2b-40=6.5

2b=46.5

b=23.25, and since  a=40-b

a=40-23.25

a=16.75

So a=16.75 and b=23.25

check...

16.75+23.25=40, 40=40

23.25-16.75=6.5, 6.5=6.5

Which of the following pairs of points are both solutions to the equation 2x-5y=6 ? and and and and
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Any points on the line y=2/5 x - 6/5. See picture below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the equation to slope intercept form and graph it.

2x - 5y = 6

-5y = 6 - 2x

y = -2/-5 x + 6/-5

y=2/5 x - 6/5.

Locate each of the points listed on the graph. If they are a part of the line, then they are solutions.

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

20/60

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 20 and 60 using
