<span>Multiply one of the equations so that both equations share a common complementary coefficient.
In order to solve using the elimination method, you need to have a matching coefficient that will cancel out a variable when you add the equations together. For the 2 equations given, you have a huge number of choices. I'll just mention a few of them.
You can multiply the 1st equation by -2/5 to allow cancelling the a term.
You can multiply the 1st equation by 5/3 to allow cancelling the b term.
You can multiply the 2nd equation by -2.5 to allow cancelling the a term.
You can multiply the 2nd equation by 3/5 to allow cancelling the b term.
You can even multiply both equations.
For instance, multiply the 1st equation by 5 and the second by 3. And in fact, let's do that.
5a + 3b = –9
2a – 5b = –16
5*(5a + 3b = -9) = 25a + 15b = -45
3*(2a - 5b = -16) = 6a - 15b = -48
Then add the equations
25a + 15b = -45
6a - 15b = -48
=
31a = -93
a = -3
And then plug in the discovered value of a into one of the original equations and solve for b.</span>
Step 1: simplify
[3.4 ( 6 x + 2 ) +3] + 4 p -3 x
Pemdas!
6x+2=8x
3.4+3=6.4
6.4+8x=14.4
14.4x+4p=18.4xp+3= 21.4xpx
x=8
p=18.4
Other x = 21.4
Answer:
D) 32
Step-by-step explanation:
sin∠30=16/x first calculate sin∠30
1/2=16/x next cross multiply
x=32
Have a good day :)

Answer:
A - 2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the tank is a rectangular prism which means the volume is equal to length*width*depth
since the tank can hold 30 cubic feet of water, we can divide 30 by the given dimensions of the length and width to find the depth
30/5 = 6
6/3 = 2
therefore, the depth of the tank has to be 2 feet (A)
