Hey there! :)

6 = 1 - b

Like I mentioned in my previous answer, we must isolate our variable. In this case, our variable is b.

So, our first step is to subtract 1 from both sides.

6 - 1 = 1 - b - 1

Simplify.

5 = b

Therefore, b = 5

~hope I helped~

One positive integer is 5 times another positive integer and their product is 320. What are the positive integers?

seropon [69]

Answer:

The integers are (x, y) = (40, 8).

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 5y

xy = 320

Substitute the first equation into the second equation.

(5y)(y) = 320

5y^2 = 320

y^2 = 64

y = 8 (y must be positive)

The integers are (x, y) = (40, 8).

One positive number is three more than twice another. If their product is 629, find the numbers.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

x = 17 and y = 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

y = 3 + 2x

xy = 629

substituting y in the second equation we get

x(3+2x) = 629

3x + 2 $x^{2}$ = 629

2 $x^{2}$ + 3x - 629 = 0

Solving a quadratic equation by using its formula:

x = [-3 ±√(9-4(2)(-629)] / 4

x = [-3 ± √5041] / 4

x = [-3 ± 71] / 4

x = 17 and $\frac{-37}{2}$

Ignore the negative number in x and just use x = 17 in the first equation we get

y = 3 + 2(17) = 37

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

$-6x+2y=\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation Thomas wrote is:

$y=3x+\frac{3}{4}$ ...equation 1

Let us subtract 3x from both sides to get:

$-3x+y=\frac{3}{4}$

We now multiply through by 2 to get:

$-6x+2y=\frac{3}{2}$ ....equation 2

We can see that equation one and two are equivalent and hence have the same solution.

Therefore Sandra's equation is $-6x+2y=\frac{3}{2}$

How can systems of linear equations with two variables be solved using algebraic methods?

erik [133]

Answer: The systems are solved by solving for one variable in one of the equations, then substituting that equation into the second equation. Solve for a in the second equation, then substitute the second equation into the first. The Elimination Method: Both equations are in standard form: Ax + By = C.
