Answer:

a = -1/2

b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Rewrite 1st equation

-b = -5 - 6a

b = 5 + 6a

Step 2: Substitution

4a - 3(5 + 6a) = -8

Step 3: Solve

4a - 15 - 18a = -8

-14a - 15 = -8

-14a = 7

a = -1/2

Step 4: Plug in <em>a</em> to find <em>b</em>

6(-1/2) - b = -5

-3 - b = -5

-b = -2

b = 2

9x1/10+6x1/100+4x1/1,000 how can this measurement be written as a decimal

omeli [17]

The above equation can be written as
$\frac{9}{10} + \frac{6}{100} + \frac{4}{1000}$
Then make all the denominators the same
$\frac{900}{1000} + \frac{60}{1000} + \frac{4}{1000} = \frac{964}{1000}$
964/1000 = 0.964
