Answer:
2a + 3b = 5
b = a - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2a + 3b = 5
b = a - 5
You can write this another way:
2a + 3(a-5) = 5 ( I added the second formula in the first one )
Now you gotta factor out:
2a + 3a - 15 = 5
Here im gonna do plus 15
2a + 3a = 20 ==> 5a = 20
Now if you divide by 5, you get: a = 4
Now you can fill in the second formula again
b = a - 5 (ill fill this in now)
b = 4 - 5 = -1
So, this makes:
a = 4 , b = -1
(-3)^2 = 9
-3^2 = -9
Hope this helps!
Answer:
$0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Unit cost = cost / number of items
Unit cost = 2/5
2 divided by 5
=24/20 thus the answer is 1.2
Answer:
7/4 + 9/-5 =
Since the denominator of the second fraction is negative the sign will change from negative to positive
We will get
7/4 - 9/5
First find the LCM
LCM of 4 and 5 is 20
7/4 - 9/5 = 5(7) - 4(9)/ 20
Simplify
We get
35 - 36/20
= -1/20
Hope this helps
