Solve the following equation

Mathematics
1 answer:
Softa [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a = 2

b = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to solve the two equations simultaneously

since we have the same 5b term in both, we can subtract the second equation from the first

we have this as;

3a-2a = -9 -(-11)

a = -9+ 11 = 2

Recall;

2a + 5b = -11

2(2) + 5b = -11

5b = -11-4

5b = -15

b = -15/5

b = -3

find the equation of a line through (2,4) and parallel to y= 4x-2. write equation using function notation
iragen [17]

Parallel lines have the same slope.

We have y = 4x - 2 → slope m = 4.

Therefore we have y = 4x + b. Put the coordinates of the point (2, 4) to the equation of line:

4 = 4(2) + b

4 = 8 + b     <em>subtract 8 from both sides</em>

-4 = b → b = -4

<h3>Answer: y = 4x - 4</h3>

Divya spends all of her free time playing with her building blocks. She owns building block sets with 333 pieces, 555 pieces, an
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

  5 sets

Step-by-step explanation:

The average number of pieces per set is the ratio of the total number of pieces to the total number of sets.

Let x represent the number of 3-piece sets. Then the total number of pieces is ...

  3x +5(5) +10(2) = 3x +45

The total number of sets is ...

  x +5 +2 = x +7

We want the ratio of these numbers to be 5 pieces per set:

  (3x +45)/(x +7) = 5

  3x +45 = 5x +35 . . . . . multiply by (x+7)

  10 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . subtract (3x+35)

  5 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Divya owns 5 sets with 3 pieces.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Each 10-piece set has 5 more pieces than average, so the two of them total 10 more pieces than average.

Each 3-piece set has 2 fewer pieces than average. The total number of 3-piece sets must have a total of 10 fewer pieces than average in order to balance the excess of the 10-piece sets. That is, there must be 10/2 = 5 of the 3-piece sets to have a total lof 10 fewer pieces than average.

Altogether, the differences from average must total zero.
