First, you want all the variables to be on one side:
a - 3b = 4
a - b = -2
Now you want to eliminate one of the variables, in this case a is easiest.
Subtract the second equation from the first and you're left with:
-2b = 6
so b = -3
Sub the value of b back into either of the equations and solve for x:
a - (-3) = -2
a = -5
So your answer is (-5,-3)
Answer:
6:9
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets assume the relationship between the amount of blue and red marbles are proportional. If there are 6 red marbles , then we would need need to find out how much times you multiplied 2 by to get.
6/2 is 3, which means that you multiplied the red marbles by 3 to get 6 of them.
Since the relationship between red and blue marbles is equivalent, we just need to multiply the blue marbles by 3 as well, to even it out.
3x3=9
There are 9 blue marbles if there are 6 red marbles.
1. c i think. 2. its b i think 3.a thats all i know im sorry
