Solve the system of linear equations using linear combination.

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

George went to the supermarket and he bought bananas for his monkeys. They were $5.99. He got a family discount because his wife
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

$4.49

Step-by-step explanation:

If bananas are $5.99, we need to find 75% of the price, or 25% off. There are two ways we can do this, I'll show the more detailed way. First, we multiply 5.99 by .25 to find 25% of it. We got ~1.50. This means that 25% of 5.99 is 1.50. Now, we take away 1.50 from 5.99. This gets us $4.49. That means the price of the bananas with the discount is $4.49. The other way we can do this is multiply 5.99 and .75 (because 25+75=100). This gets us 4.4925, which rounds to $4.49. I hope this helps!

For which angle theta is cos theta =-1?<br>a) 270<br>b) 360<br>c) 450<br>d) 540​
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

540°.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a unit circle, cos θ = -1 at 180°.

However, cos θ has a period of 2π, or 360°. This means that cos θ will equal to -1 again after 2π.

To solve for the angle:

180° + 360° = 540°. This is the next angle at which cos θ = -1.
