7 0

Answer:

a>b

Step-by-step explanation:

−3(a–b) < 0

Divide each side by -3, remembering to flip the inequality since we are dividing by a negative

−3(a–b)/-3 > 0/-3

a-b > 0

Add b to each side

a-b+b > 0+b

a >b

a is greater than b

Let a = 5 and b = 4

−3(5–4) < 0

-3 (1) < 0

-3 <0  True

If a <b  Then it would be false

Let a = 5 and b =7

−3(5–7) < 0

-3 (-2)<0

6< 0  this is false

Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution to the system of linear equations. 1 point
viktelen [127]

Answer:

(5,-6) is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x + 3y = 12

4x + y = 14

Required

Tell whether (5,-6) is a solution

In (5,-6): x = 5 and y = -6.

Substitute these values in the given equations

6x + 3y = 12 becomes

6 * 5 + 3 * -6 = 12

30-18 = 12

12 = 12

4x + y = 14 becomes

4 * 5 - 6 = 14

20 - 6 = 14

14 = 14

Because both solutions are true, then (5,-6) is a solution
