2a + b = 3 and a - 3b = 5

Mathematics
1 answer:
vfiekz [6]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a= 2 b=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

a-3b=5

or, a= 5+3b_(i)

substituting value of a in 2a+b=3,

2×(5+3b)+b=3

or, 10+6b+b=3

or, 7b=3-10

or, 7b=-7

b= -1

substituting value of b in(i),

a=5+3b

=5+3×(-1)

=5-3

=2

In a class of p students, the average (arithmetic mean) of the test scores is 70. in another class of n students, the average of
lys-0071 [83]

First case:

average of test score =70

number of students =p

total score of 'p' students = ( average of test score)*( number of students)

total score of 'p' students =70p

Second case:

average of test score =92

number of students =n

total score of 'n' students = ( average of test score)*( number of students)

total score of 'n' students =92n

total number of students = p+n

total average score =86

so, total score =86(p+n)

total score = total score of 'p' students +total score of 'n' students

86(p+n)=70p+92n

now, we can simplify it

86p+86n=70p+92n

86p-70p=92n-86n

16p=6n

now, we can find p/n

\frac{p}{n}= \frac{6}{16}

\frac{p}{n}= \frac{3}{8}................Answer

What is the solution to the system of equations?
xxTIMURxx [149]

As with a system of equations, call them A and B in order to keep them straight.

A: x + y = 7

B: x = y + 3

Because in B we have x on one on one side and not x on the other, substitution is the way to go. Substitute equation B into equation A.

x + y = 7 Equation A

y + 3 + y = 7 Putting B into A

2y + 3 = 7 Collect like terms

2y = 4 Subtract 3 on both sides

y = 2 divide both sides by 2

With y = 2 we can substitute that back into an original equation. Choose B.

x = y + 3

x = 2 + 3

x = 5


Thus x = 5 and y = 2, or (5, 2) is the solution of this system.
