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

Answer:

6x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 2 sides are equal to 3x-3, multiply 3x-3 by 2.

=6x-6

Subtract 18x+6 - 6x-6

= 12x

Since 2 there are 2 sides missing, 12x divided by 2

=6x

How are fractions divided the right way?
Lady_Fox [76]

You would keep the first fraction the same , turn the division sign into a multiplication sign , and flip the 2nd fraction upside down.


10/14 ÷ 7/16


10/14 x 16/7= 80/49 = 1 31/49
