Answer:

a. (15, 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with those two equations:

1) a - 1.2b = -3

2) 0.2b + 0.6a = 12

We'll begin by modifying equation #1 to isolate a:

a = -3 + 1.2b

Then we'll use this value for a in the second equation:

0.2b + 0.6 (-3 + 1.2b) = 12

0.2b - 1.8 + 0.72b = 12

0.92b = 13.8

b = 15

Then we'll place that value of b in the first equation to find a:

a - 1.2 (15) = -3

a - 18 = -3

a = 15

Solve for b. 7 b 12 b= ✓ [?] Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2 Enter

fomenos

Answer: $b=\sqrt{95}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for b, we want to use the Pythagorean Theorem as given.

b and 7 are the legs, and 12 is the hypotenuse.

$7^2+b^2=12^2$ [exponent]

$49+b^2=144$ [subtract both sides by 49]

$b^2=95$ [square root both sides]

$b=\sqrt{95}$

Now we know $b=\sqrt{95}$ .
