A could be 2 while B could be 3, so -2a+3b turns into -4+9, which equals 5.
From what I know you can't really solve a a single equation with two-variables so it's just a matter of trial and error.
Just try plugging in a small number like 2 for a just to try it and you get 8b^2=72.
Divide everything by 8 to isolate b and you get that b^2=9.
Square root everything and you'll find that b=3. This is just one possible combination, I'm sure there are many more but this is obviously the one that was intended to be found.
Now that we know that a=2 and b=3 just plug them into the equation.
-2(2)+3(3)=?
-4+9=?
5
Sorry about having to use this ^ symbol, the equation maker is not working.
Step-by-step explanation:
2527 is the first line so 5 in the box
then 47 so a 4 in that box
top answer row
315 E7 so a 5 in that box.
Suppose one bus travels at x km/h, the second bus is 17 km/h slower so it is x-17
the first bus travels a total of 7x km, the second bus travels 7(x-17)km, together they travel the total distance of 1631 km
7x + 7(x-17) =1631
7x + 7x -119 =1631
14x=1750
x=125
x-17=108
Formula for are of a rectangle:
A =L * W
1st isolate W
147 = 3W * W
147 = 3W^2
divide 147 by the by 3 on bot sides
29 = W^2
get ride of the square by square rooting on both sides
7 = W
2nd find the perimeter
P = 2(7) + 2(21)
P = 14 + 42
P = 56
