Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2a + b = 6......equation 1

a - 6 = b

a = b + 6........equation 2

Putting equation 2 in equation 1

2 ( b + 6 ) + b = 6

2b + 12 + b = 6

3b = 6 - 12

3b = - 6

b = - 6 / 3

Therefore b = - 2

Now

a = - 2 + 6 = 4

hope it will help :)

Answer:

a = 4

b = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2a + b = 6

a - 6 = b

a - b = 6

Elimination

2a + b = 6

a - b = 6

________+

3a = 12

a = 12/3

a = 4

a - b = 6

4 - b = 6

-b = 6 - 4

-b = 2

b = -2

kirza4 [7]
There are 30 days in the month of June. Out of the 30 days, Ava saw birds on 18.

P(bird)=18/30

We can simplify the fraction by dividing both sides by 2.

P(bird)=18/30=9/15

9/15=0.6=60%

Theres a 9/15 or 60% chance that she will see a bird on July 1st.

Maslowich

Answer:

Therefore he invested $60,000 at 9% per year and $(210,000-60,000)=$150,000 at 4% per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given John plans to invest $210,000 in two different funds. He projects that the moderately high risk investments should return, overtime 9% per year,while low risk investments should return about 4% per year.

He wants a supplemental income of$11,400 a year.

Let , he invested $x at 9% per year and $(210,000-x) at 4% per year.

interest=\frac{prt}{100}   p = principle , r = rate of interest and t = time

The interest earns at 9% per year= \frac{x\times 9\times 1}{100}

The interest earns at 4% per year=\frac{(210,00-x)\times 4 \times 1}{100}

According to the problem,

\frac{x\times 9\times 1}{100}+\frac{(210,00-x)\times 4 \times 1}{100}= 11400

\Leftrightarrow 9x+840000-4x=11400 \times 100

\Leftrightarrow 5x=1140000-840000

\Leftrightarrow x=\frac{300000}{5}

\Leftrightarrow x=60,000

Therefore he invested $60,000 at 9% per year and $(210,000-60,000)=$150,000 at 4% per year.
