Answer:

a = 1, b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3a + 6b = 45 → (1)

2a - 2b = - 12 → (2)

Multiply (2) by 3 and add to (1) to eliminate the term in b

6a - 6b = - 36 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term

(3a + 6a) + (6b - 6b) = (45 - 36)

9a = 9 ( divide both sides by 9 )

a = 1

Substitute a = 1 in either (1) or (2) and solve for b

(1) → 3 + 6b = 45 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

6b = 42 ( divide both sides by 6 )

b = 7

A b x−c=0 Step 1: Multiply both sides by b. ax−bc=0 Step 2: Add bc to both sides. ax−bc+bc=0+bc ax=bc Step 3: Divide both sides by x. ax x = bc x a= bc x Answer: a= bc x

Radio tower had a special on rechargeable batteries. It sold AA for $1 and AAA for $0.75. It sold 42 batteries on a single day a
PIT_PIT [208]
AA = $1
AAA= $0.75

AA + AAA = 42

$1AA + $0.75AAA= $37

AA + AAA = 42
AA + AAA-AAA= 42- AAA
AA = 42- AAA

$1(42- AAA) + $0.75AAA= $37
$42 - AAA +0.75AAA = $37
$42 -0.25AAA= $37
$42-$42 -0.25AAA= $37 -$42
-0.25AAA= -5
-0.25AAA/-0.25 = -5/-0.25
AAA= 20

AA + AAA= 42
AA + 20 = 42
AA +20 -20 = 42-20
AA= 22

Check
$1AA + $0.75AAA= $37
$1(22)+ $0.75(20)= $37
$22 + $15 =$37
$37 = $37
