One less than the quotient of a number and negative 5

1 answer:

6 0

This question uses unusual wording. If we assume that the question should read: One less THAN a quotient of a number and -5, it makes a little more sense.

The quotient of a number and (-5) would be X/(-5), and one less than that would yield X/(-5) - 1

Find an ordered pair to represent a in the equation a=2b+c if b=(6,3) and c=(-4,8)

zaharov [31]

Answer:

The ordered pair to represent a in the equation a=2b+c if b=(6,3) and c=(-4,8) is: a=(8,14)

Step-by-step explanation:

b=(6,3)

c=(-4,8)

a=2b+c

Replacing b and c in the equation above:

a=2(6,3)+(-4,8)

Multiplying:

a=(2*6,2*3)+(-4,8)

a=(12,6)+(-4,8)

Adding:

a=(12+(-4),6+8)

a=(12-4,14)

a=(8,14)
