Show all your work to receive full credit for this problem. Solve the system of equations using the elimination method. 2a + 3b
Sindrei [870]

Given equations are;<span>
2a + 3b = -1   ..................equation 1
3a + 5b = -2  ....................equation 2</span>

Now multiply equation 1 with (-3)

The equation will be;

-6a -9b = 3 …………………..equation 3

Now multiply equation 2 with (2)

The equation will be;

6a + 10b = -4 ……………..equation 4

Now add equation 3 and equation 4

-6a – 9b = 3

<span>6a  + 10b = -4</span>

<span>------------------------------</span>

0a + b = -1

b = -1

Now put the value of b in equation 1

2a + 3(-1) = -1

2a -3 = -1

2a = -1+3

2a = 2

a=1

Thus the solution is (a,b) = (1,-1)

What is 3 + -5= and is it a positive or negative number and how?
Natalka [10]
It is -2.  This is negative.  For instance, if you had 3 candies and your mother took away 5, you would not only have 0 candies, but you would owe your mother 2.  This is expressed as a negative number.  Please mark Brainliest!!!

Solve:<br> sin5x - cos2x + sin x = 0.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

x = 10 , 45 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

This seems a tricky one .

I guess we can use   sin A + sin B =  2 sin (A+B)/2 cos (A - B) / 2

so sin 5x + sin x = 2 sin 3x cos 2x so our equation becomes

2 sin 3x cos 2x - cos 2x = 0

cos 2x ( 2 sin 3x - 1) = 0

so 2 sin 3x = 1

sin 3x = 1/2

giving 3x = 30 degrees and x = 10 degrees

or cos 2x = 0

so 2x = 90

giving x = 45 degrees.
