The answer is actually choice A
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6
Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away
The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6
To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2
2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3
We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'
Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'
3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1
So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)
--------------------------------------
To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations
Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out
Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well
So this confirms that the final answer is choice A
So normally it is
if 8x is to 6y, then how many x is to 42y?
it could be
if 8x:6y then how many x:42y or
if 8x:6y then how many y:42 x
I will solve for both
if it is
x:42y go to AAAAAAAA
if it is
y:42x then go to BBBBBBBBBB
AAAAAAAA
how many concerts are equal to 42 symponies
arrange in concerts to symponies format
8:6=x:42
fractionify
8/6=x/42
multiply boht sides by 42
336/6=x
56=x
56 concerts equals 42 symponies
BBBBBBBBBB
how many symponies are equal to 42 concerts
areange in symponies:concerts
6:8=x/42
fractionify
6/8=x/42
multiply boht sides by 42
252/8=x
31.5=x
31.5 symponies to 42 concerts
so it could be
56 concerts to 42 symponies
or
31.5 symonies to 42 concerts
Answer:
f(-3)= 15
Step-by-step explanation:
f(-3) means x is equal to -3
-3 squared - 2(-3)
-3*-3 -2(-3)
*Negative multiplied by a negative equals a positive
9+6= 15
f(-3)= 15
Hope this helps!
