The first thing you want to do is plug in x and y into both equations:

a(3) + b(4) = 4

b(3) + a(4) = 8

rearrange to line up a’s and b’s

3a + 4b = 4

4a + 3b = 8

now you want to choose a or b and multiply each equation by a number to make them have the same amount of a’s or b’s.

4(3a + 4b = 4) = 12a + 16b = 16

3(4a + 3b = 8) = 12a + 9b = 24


Now we subtract the bottom equation from the top and solve for b:

12a + 16b - (12a + 9b) = 16 - 24

7b = -8

b = -8/7


Now we plug back in for b to one of the original equations:

3a + 4(-8/7) = 4

3a + (-32/7) = 4

3a - (32/7) = 4

3a = 4 + (32/7)

3a = (28/7) + (32/7)

3a = 60/7

a = (60/7)/3 = 20/7.


Finally, plug a and b in together to double check using the second equation.

4a + 3b = 8

4(20/7) + 3(-8/7) = ?

(80/7) - (24/7) = ?

56/7 = 8.

Explain how to find the sum −8.46+5.31. a.) Because |−8.46|>|5.31|, subtract |5.31| from |−8.46| and the sign is negative. b.
Amanda [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of −8.46 and 5.31 means we need to add −8.46+5.31.

We know that,

|-8.46| > |5.31|

It means we subtract 8.46 - 5.31

At hundredth place, 6-1 = 5

At tenths place, 4-3 = 1

At ones place, 8-5 = 3

It would mean that, 8.46 - 5.31 = 3.15

8.46 has a negative sign. It means that the final answer will have negative sign i.e. −8.46+5.31 = -3.15

Hence, the correct option is (a) " Because |−8.46|>|5.31|, subtract |5.31| from |−8.46| and the sign is negative".

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to y=2x+2 and goes through points (4,5)
kari74 [83]
Y = 2x-3
The second line will have its Y-Intercept at -3 and its slope will be up 2 and over 1 which will allow it to go through (4,5) and the line will be parallel to Y = 2x+2
