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

Find each difference 1 1/2 + (-1/2)
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

1 1/2 + (-1/2) is also 1 1/2 - 1/2.

the result is 1 whole, and 1 whole is also the difference between 1 1/2 and 1/2.

Say you have half of a cheese piece, but your friend has 1 whole cheese piece plus half of a cheese piece.

He/She has 1 more cheese piece than you, right? That's the difference between you and your friend's cheese. 1 whole.

Homework Progress<br> 0<br> Find the nth term of the following sequence: 4 7 12 19 28
just olya [345]

<em>Answer:</em>

n²+3

<em>Explanation:</em>

The differences between the terms are not the same, so this is not "linear". Knowing that the sequence may have started with a 1, you can try subtracting the first number with a number to get 1, and use that number to subtract the rest.

4 - 3 = 1
7 - 3 = 4
12 - 3 = 9
19 - 3 = 16
28 - 3 = 25

In this case, subtracting 3 to all the numbers gave us perfect squares! So this means the nth term has to do with squaring the number and adding three afterward! This can be checked.

√1 = 1
√4 = 2
√9 = 3
√16 = 4
√25 = 5

As we found the values of these terms by subtracting three first and then finding its square root, the nth term will be the opposite; squaring and then adding three! Again, this can be checked!

1² + 3 = 4
2² + 3 = 7
3² + 3 = 12
4² + 3 = 19
5² + 3 = 28

Hope this helps !! :D
