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)

Write two expressions that could be used to find 105% of x. ANSWER TODAY!! :) thanks
Margaret [11]

First way: x * 1.05

This computes directly what 105% of x will be.


Second way: x + (x * 0.05)

This takes x (which is 100%) and adds 5% of x to it.

A population analysist is using the formula Pn = 25.8(1.0219)h to predict the population for Ghana, a country in Africa. What do
Neko [114]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula :

Pn = 25.8(1.0219)^h to predict the population of Ghana ;

The equation given is in the form of an exponential function:

The general form of an exponential distribution :

y = ab^x

a = Initial value ; b = constant multiplier or growth or Decay factor

Comparing :

The number in parenthesis = 1.0219 = b

b = Decay or growth factor :

Since b > 1 ; then We have a growth factor;

b = 1 + rate

1.0219 = 1 + rate

Rate = 1.0219 - 1

Rate = 0.0219

Hence, the population is growing at a rate of about (0.0219)*100% = 2.19%

6th grade math help me pleaseeee
sammy [17]

Answer:

Meryann brought 6 friends to the party

Step-by-step explanation:

y=9x+24

24 is your constant because the cost for all the pizza won't change

9x will change, so x represents the number of friends she brought

and y will be 78 because it's the total amount of money

78=9x+24

all you have to do is solve this equation

54=9x

x=6
