It's a simultaneous equation:
Steps:
1.Number the equations..
a+b=77 -1
a-b=13 -2
2. Choose what variable you want to use. In this case I would use the "b". Since the signs in front of the "b's" are different, add the two equations together
a + b = 77
+ + +
a (-b) = 13
Which gives;
2a = 90
Then solve to find a:
2a=90
a= 90/2
a=45
3.Then plug the "a" value into any of the original equations to find the "b" value. I would use equation 1 since the all the variables are positive.
a + b = 77
(45) + b = 77
b=77-45
b=32
4.Solution
a=45
b=32
It’s F because I took the test

Answer:
(5, - 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x + 3y = - 2 → (1)
3x - y = 19 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
9x - 3y = 57 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
(2x + 9x) + (3y - 3y) = (- 2 + 57), that is
11x = 55 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
2(5) + 3y = - 2
10 + 3y = - 2 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
3y = - 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = - 4
Solution is (5, - 4 )
