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!

Frank is having the car pets in his house cleaned. The cost of the cleaning is calculated from the area of the carpets. C= the c

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Cost of the cleaning, C is the dependent variable

Area of the carpet, a is the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of the cleaning is calculated from the area of the carpets

C= the cost of the cleaning a= the area of the carpets.

Cost of the cleaning, C is the dependent variable

Area of the carpet, a is the independent variable

A dependent variable is a variable which depends on other factors to exist. They take their values based on other factors. Their value is changed as a result of a change in independent variable

An independent variable is a variable which does not change as a result of the change in other factors. They take their values irrespective of external factors around them.
