Hi Kristian

a - 3b = 22
a = b - 2

We need to solve a = b -2 for a
First, we need to substitute b - 2 for a in a - 3b = 22
a - 3b = 22
b - 2 - 3b = 22
-2b - 2 = 22
 -2b = 22 + 2
-2b = 24
b = 24/-2
b = -12

Now substitute -12 for b in a = b - 2
a = b -2
a= -12 - 2
a= -14

Thus, the solution is a = -14 and b = -12

The correct option is the last one (-14,-12)


If you have questions about my answer, please let me know.


Good luck!

What is the sum of natural numbers less than 200 neither divisible by 3 nor by 5
Sveta_85 [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

The required sum 

=(1+2+3+...+199)−(3+6+9+...+198)−(5+10+15+...+195)+(15+30+45+...+195)

=2199(1+199)−266(3+198)−239(5+195)+213(15+195)

 

=199×100−33×201−39×100+13×105=10732

Write the relation as a set of on rdered pai
kirill115 [55]

The relation as a set of ordered pairs is d. {(–2, 1), (0, -1), (2, -3)}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

First, we plot the three points on the given graph.

The coordinates are given in the following form (x coordinate, y coordinate) where the symbol of the coordinates depends on the quadrant on which the point lies.

For the first quadrant, both x and y values are positive.

For the second quadrant, the x value is negative but the y value is positive.

For the third quadrant, both the values of x and y are negative.

For the fourth quadrant, the x value is positive but the y value is negative.

Step 2:

The first point has an x value of 2 and a y value of 1 since it is in the second quadrant, the coordinates are (-2, 1).

The second point has an x value of 0 and a y value of 1 since it is in the third or fourth quadrant, the coordinates are (0, -1).

The third point has an x value of 2 and a y value of 3 since it is in the fourth quadrant, the coordinates are (2, -3).

So the coordinates are {(–2, 1), (0, -1), (2, -3)} which is option d.
