Answer:

a + b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system of equations, we can use a strategy called elimination, which is when we get rid of a variable by adding/subtracting two equations.

Firstly, we want to make sure the absolute value of the coefficients that equal.

Lets eliminate b:

4a + 6b = 24

Multiply both sides by 2:

8a + 12b = 48

We also have:

6a - 12b = -6.

Now lets add that with

8a + 12b = 48

-> 6a + 8a + 12b - 12b = 48 -6

-> 14a = 42

-> a = 3

Now that we know a, lets plug it into one of our original equations:

4(3) + 6b = 24

12 + 6b = 24

6b = 12

b = 2

Finally, add the two values we found:

a+b = 2+3= 5

For function of g,g(0)=1 and g(1)=5 assuming g is a linear function what is g(3)<br>​
lawyer [7]

Answer:

g(3) = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

g(0) = 1

g(1) = 5

Required

Find g(3)

Since g(x) is a linear function, then:

g(x) = mx + c

For: g(0) = 1

g(x) = mx + c

g(0) = m*0 + c

1 = 0 + c

1 = c

c = 1

For: g(1) = 5

g(x) = mx + c

g(1) = m * 1 + c

5 = m * 1 + c

5 = m + c

Substitute c = 1

5 = m + 1

m = 5 - 1

m =4

So, the function is:

g(x) = mx + c

g(x) = 4x + 1

Calculate g(3)

g(3) = 4*3 + 1

g(3) = 12 + 1

g(3) = 13
