Hey there :)
We have two equations:
3a + 2b = 7
2a + 2b = 9
We need to solve simultaneously to find the values of a and b
eq.1 3a + 2b = 7
eq.2 ( 2a + 2b = 9 ) x -1 ) multiply by -1 to cancel 2b
3a + 2b = 7
- 2a - 2b = -9 ( Add both together )
-------------------
a = - 2 Substitute the value you found for a in a in order to find b
3( - 2 ) + 2b = 7 2( - 2 ) + 2b = 9
- 6 + 2b = 7 OR - 4 + 2b = 9
2b = 13 2b = 13
b =
b =
Answer:
what is the question I didn't get it please explain what we have to find
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
d. about 50 times larger
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expressions for magnitude (M) can be solved for the intensity (I). Then the ratio of intensities is ...

The larger earthquake had about 50 times the intensity of the smaller one.
Answer:
The difference in amount = $430
Step-by-step explanation:
1- Annual contract:
The annual contract means a contract for 12 months. There is a month penalty for breaking the lease.
This means that, if you left after 8 months, you will have to pay for 10 month.
Total paid = monthly payment * 10
Total paid = 535 * 10 = $5350
2- Month-to-month contract:
You will only paid for the 8 months you stayed,
Total paid = monthly payment * 8
Total paid = 615 * 8 = $4920
3- Getting the difference:
We can note that a month-month contract is a better option if you intend to stay for only 8 months
Difference = 5350 - 4920 = $430
Hope this helps :)
