Question

A+b=8 3a - 45=3 And is it good for the elimination method

Answer 1

Answer: a is 16, b is -8

Step-by-step explanation:

3a-45=3

add 45 to both sides to get rid of -45

3a=48

divide both sides by 3

a = 16

plug 16 into the first equation

16 + b = 8

subtract 16 from both sides

b = -8

is it good for the elimination method? hmm i probably wouldn't use it in this case since there aren't any variables to cancel out.
