2a + 3b = 6 --> Equation 1
5a + 2b = 4 --> Equation 2
Equation 1 * 5 --> 10a + 15b = 30
Equation 2 * 2 --> 10a + 4b = 8
Equation 1 - Equation 2 --> 11b = 22 --> b = 2
Sub b=2 in Equation 1 (or 2, either works):
2a + 3b = 6
2a + 3(2) = 6
2a + 6 = 6
2a = 0
a = 0

b = 2, a = 0

Make in form
ax+by=c

add 4 to both sides in 2nd equaiton

5a+2b=4

now
elimiate a variable
I choose b
multiply top equation by -2 and 2nd by 3
add

-4a-6b=-12
<u>15a+6b=12 +</u>
11a+0b=0

11a=0
a=0
nice

sub back
5a+2b=4
5(0)+2b=4
2b=4
divide 2
b=2


a=0
b=2
if in form (a,b)
(0,2)

Answer for the square root(5x-9)+1=x
Evgen [1.6K]

\bf \sqrt{5x-9}+1=x\implies \sqrt{5x-9}=x-1\implies 5x-9 = (x-1)^2 \\\\\\ 5x-9=\stackrel{\mathbb{FOIL}}{x^2-2x+1}\implies 5x=x^2-2x+10\implies 0=x^2-7x+10 \\\\\\ 0=(x-5)(x-2)\implies x= \begin{cases} 5\\ 2 \end{cases}

Triangle STU is rotated 270 clockwise about the origin to create triangle S'T'U'. If point U of triangle STU is a (a,b), which a
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

(b, -a)

Step-by-step explanation:

First note that the rule for a rotation by 270° about the origin is (x,y)→(y,−x)

Note that the coordinates were swapped and the x coordinates negated. Similarly;

Given the coordinate of the point U as (a, b), if the triangle is rotated 270degrees clockwise, the resulting coordinate will  be (b, -a)
