Answer:

a = 1 and b= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given two equations,

2a + 3b = -1  and

3a + 5b = -2  

<u>To find the solution of given equations</u>

Let, 2a + 3b = -1   ----(1)

3a + 5b = -2   ------(2)

(1) * -3 ⇒

-6a - 9b = 3    ----(3)

(2) * 2 ⇒

6a + 10b = -4   -----(4)

(3) + (4 )⇒

-6a - 9b = 3    ----(3)

<u>6a + 10b = -4   -----(4)</u>

  0 + b  = -1

(1) ⇒ 2a + 3b = -1  

2a + (3 * -1) = -1

2a = -1 + 3 = 2

a = 2/2 =1

Therefore, a = 1 and b = -1

Answer:

Then, a=-1 and b=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the following system of equations using the adition method:

2a+3b=-1       (i)

3a+5b=-2      (ii)

First, we multiply the equation (i) by -3 and the equation (ii) by 2, so we get:

-6a-9b=3

6a+10b=-4

Adding the two equations we have:

-6a-9b=3

6a+10b=-4

--------------------------

 0  + b = -1

Then b=-1. Now, let's substitute the value of b into equation (i):

2a+3b=-1

2a + 3(-1) = -1

2a -3 = -1

2a = 2

a = 1

Then, a=-1 and b=-1

7x²=9+x
so
for
0=ax²+bx+c

x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
so

7x²=9+x
mins 9 from both sides and minus x
7x²-1x-9=0
a=7
b=-1
c=-9


x=\frac{-(-1)+/-\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(7)(-9)}}{2(7)}
x=\frac{1+/-\sqrt{(-1)^2+4(7)(9)}}{2(7)}
so the 4th one
