Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4a + 6b = 24

6a - 12b = -6

Rewrite the first equation below. Divide both sides of the second equation by 2 and write below the first equation. Then add the equations.

4a + 6b = 24

+ 3a - 6b = -3

----------------------------

7a = 21

Divide both sides by 7.

a = 3

Now substitute 3 for a in the first equation and solve for b.

4a + 6b = 24

4(3) + 6b = 24

12 + 6b = 24

6b = 12

b = 2

a = 3, and b = 2

a + b = 3 + 2 = 5

Which models show 40%? Check all that apply. A model with 4 shaded sections and 6 unshaded sections. A model with 40 shaded sect

Amanda [17]

Answer:

A model with 4 shaded sections and 6 unshaded sections.

A model with 40 shaded sections and 60 unshaded sections.

Step-by-step explanation:

Required:

Which models shows 40%

(a) 4 shaded and 6 unshaded

First, we calculate the total sections

$Total = 4 + 6$

$Total = 10$

The percentage of the shaded section is:

$Shaded = \frac{4}{10} * 100\%$

$Shaded = 0.4 * 100\%$

$Shaded = 40\%$

(b) 40 shaded and 60 unshaded

First, we calculate the total sections

$Total = 40 + 60$

$Total = 100$

The percentage of the shaded section is:

$Shaded = \frac{40}{100} * 100\%$

$Shaded = 0.4 * 100\%$

$Shaded = 40\%$

(c) 2 shaded and 8 unshaded

First, we calculate the total sections

$Total = 2 + 8$

$Total = 10$

The percentage of the shaded section is:

$Shaded = \frac{2}{10} * 100\%$

$Shaded = 0.2 * 100\%$

$Shaded = 20\%$

<em>Hence, (a) and (b) shows 40%</em>
