Answer:

a = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3a + b = 54 ← substitute b = 9

3a + 9 = 54 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

3a = 45 ( divide both sides by 3 )

a = 15

3a+b=54, b=9

3a +9 =54

3a= 54-9=45

a= 45÷3=15

Given:

The system of equations is:

Line A: y=x-4

Line B: y=3x+4

To find:

The solution of given system of equations.

Solution:

We have,

y=x-4              ...(i)

y=3x+4           ...(ii)

Equating (i) and (ii), we get

x-4=3x+4

-4-4=3x-x

-8=2x

Divide both sides by 2.

-4=x

Substituting x=-4 in (i), we get

y=-4-4

y=-8

The solution of system of equations is (-4,-8).

Now verify the solution by substituting x=-4, y=-8 in the given equations.

-8=-4-4

-8=-8

This statement is true.

Similarly,

-8=3(-4)+4

-8=-12+4

-8=-8

This statement is also true.

Therefore, (-4,-8) is a solution of the given system of equations, because the point satisfies both equations. Hence, the correct option is C.

What is the slope for 2x-1=-3y
dexar [7]

Answer:

The slope is -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is recommended to solve for 'y' variable the equation given, this means, leave the 'y' variable alone in one side of the equation. Doing that, leaves us the following:

y=\frac{-2}{3}x +\frac{1}{3}

This is the general equation of a line: y=mx+b where 'm' is the slope (by comparison), thus We have the desired result
