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

What’s the slope of the line in the graph?

zloy xaker [14]

Check the picture below, let's use those two points on the line to get its slope.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{3}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{0}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{2}\implies 1$

Find the value of kk for which the constant function x(t)=kx(t)=k is a solution of the differential equation 5t3dxdt+2x−2=05t3dx

uranmaximum [27]

Given the differential equation

$5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} +2x-2=0$

The solution is as follows:

$5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} +2x-2=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} =2-2x \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{5}{2-2x} dx= \frac{1}{t^3} dt \\ \\ \Rightarrow \int {\frac{5}{2-2x} } \, dx = \int {\frac{1}{t^3}} \, dt \\ \\ \Rightarrow- \frac{5}{2} \ln(2-2x)=- \frac{1}{2t^2} +A \\ \\ \Rightarrow\ln(2-2x)= \frac{1}{5t^2} +B\\ \\ \Rightarrow2-2x=Ce^{\frac{1}{5t^2}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow 2x=Ce^{\frac{1}{5t^2}}+2 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=De^{\frac{1}{5t^2}}+1$
