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!

In the point (3,-2), what is<br> the x-value? Which<br> quadrant is this point<br> located?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-value is 3. Coordinate pairs are labeled as (x, y). In this case, the 3 is in the x position.

The point is located in the 4th quadrant. Quadrant labels move counter-clockwise, from 1 to 4 as shown below. In Quadrant 4, the x-value will always be positive, and the y-value will always be negative. This point has a positive x-value and negative y-value, so it is in this quadrant.

2x-3y=42 solve for y
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

y=14+(2/3x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Your main goal is to get Y by itself on one side.

To start subtract 2x from both sides. This will give you -3y=42-2x.

Then you divide both sides by -3 to get Y by itself.

That will leave you with ...

y=14+(2/3x)

(remember the negatives cancel each other out)
