We need the following to be true
a+2b = -a
a+4 = 2a - 3b
Let's look at the first equation.
a + 2b = -a
Subtract both sides by a
2b = -2a
b = -a
Substitute b= -a into the second equation
a+4 = 2a + 3a
a + 4 = 5a
4a = 4
a = 1
Just take the negative of that and you get the value of b.
b = -1
Your solution is a=1 and b = -1.
Have an awesome day! :)
Answer:
of their perimeters is equal to the ratio of their corresponding side lengths. ratio of their areas is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding side lengths.
Assuming your solving for y:
py+7=6y+q
-6y -7 -6y -7
(p-6)y = q-7
divide both sides by p-6
y=(q-7)/(p-6)

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
560 ft/min
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r represent Samantha's running rate in feet per minute. Then r-230 is her walking rate. We can use the relation ...
distance = speed × time
to write an equation for the total distance Samantha went.
20r + 15(r -230) = 16150
35r - 3450 = 16150 . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms
35r = 19600 . . . . . . . . . . add 3450
r = 560 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of r
Samantha ran 560 feet per minute.
