Since the second equation gives a value for a, we can substitute it into the other equation to find a value for B.
Let's substitute b-2 into the first equation wherever there is an a.
a - 3b = 4
(b-2) - 3b = 4
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2 - 2b = 4
-2b = 6
b = -3
Now let's find a by substituting -3 into either of the equations to find the value of a.
a = b - 2
a = -3 - 2
a = -5
So your solution set is (-5, -3)

A sample of any given pure element is composed only of the atoms characteristic of that element, and the atoms of each element are unique. For example, the atoms that constitute carbon are different from those that make up iron, which are in turn different from those of gold. Every element is designated by a unique symbol consisting of one, two, or three letters arising from either the current element name or its original (often Latin) name. For example, the symbols for carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are simply C, H, and O, respectively. The symbol for iron is Fe, from its original Latin name ferrum. The fundamental principle of the science of chemistry is that the atoms of different elements can combine with one another to form chemical compounds. Methane, for example, which is formed from the elements carbon and hydrogen in the ratio four hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom, is known to contain distinct CH4 molecules. The formula of a compound—such as CH4—indicates the types of atoms present, with subscripts representing the relative numbers of atoms (although the numeral 1 is never written).<span /></span></span><span><span>

Answer:
4.75
Step-by-step explanation:
19 goes into 4 4 times, so we are left with 4 3/4. 3/4 is 0.75, so we have 4.75 as our answer.
