Multiply the first equation by -2. This gives you a positive and a negative 8b, which can cancel out, leaving you with -16a = -40 and 5a = 62, which can be added together to make -11a = 22. Divide 22 by -11 to get a alone. A then equals -2. Plug -2 in for a in either equation. Solve for b, giving you -9. Plug these in again just to check if you'd like.

So, as a quick recap, just a is -2 and b is -9. Hope I helped!

While since Rajeev is already below the surface by 12.6 ft it’ll be negative (-12.6) and since he went down another 8.7 ft it’ll just be minus since he is still going under, so -12.6-8.7 will be your answer. :)

32% as a fraction in lowest terms

TiliK225 [7]

32% means 32/100

32/100 = 16/50 = 8/25, which is the lowest you can get because you can no longer divide it to get a whole number.

A; 8/25.
