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

From the set {80, 19, 11}, use substitution to determine which value of x makes the equation true. 8x = 88 A. none of these B. 1
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

  C.  11

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting, we have ...

  8{80, 19, 11} ?= 88

  {640, 152, 88} ?= 88

The value from the set that makes the equation true is x = 11.

_____

<em>Alternate methods of solution (other than substitution)</em>

It can be easier to make use of your knowledge of factoring:

  8x = 8·11

  x = 11

Or to make use of your knowledge of numbers (place value):

  8·10 = 80

so x will not be very different from 10.
