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

-18+-6 please help
Verdich [7]

Answer:

-24

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are struggling with this here's a tip!

-18+-6 is what you are trying to solve

The 6 is negative, so get rid of the plus sign -18-6

2 negative numbers are just added like positive numbers

So add 18 and 6, you should get 24

Don't forget about the negative!

Ellen is excited to learn how to ski. She went to White Peaks Mountain, rented a pair of skis for $45, and took 4 hours of group
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

x=30h

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to figure out how much she actually paid for lessons, so you need to subtract 45 from 165.

165-45=120

Now you know she paid 120 dollars in total for lessons.

You know she took four hours of lessons, so you divide 120 by 4.

120/4=30

It takes $30 an hour for lessons.

Now you can form an equation.

Since you know it takes $30 per hour of lessons, it will be 30h.

x is the full amount of money paid

You don't need to add 165-45 to your equation because not everyone will need to rent skis when they come to White Peaks.

Hope this helps!
