6-6a=3a-3b+1, 9a-3b=5
<span>4b - 8 =3a, 3a-4b=-8
</span>
9a-3b=5
(3a-4b=-8 )*(-3 )
9a -3b= 5
-9a+12b=+24
adding both equations
9b=29, b=29/9
3a=4b-8=4*29/9 -8=(4*29-8*9)/9 = 44/9
a=44/27
a-b=44/27 - 29/9=44/27 - 29*3/27=-43/27
this is a correct answer, unfortunately they do not have this choice, probably they made mistake somewhere. I even check the solution of equations by substitution values of a and b into equations
Answer:
x = 12 and y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Use elimination by adding the equations together.
-2x + 15y =-24
2x + 9y = 24
---------------
24y = 0
y=0
Then substitute y = 0 into one equation to find x.
-2x + 15(0) = -24
-2x + 0 = -24
-2x = -24
x = 12
The answer would be C. 3/12 (Reduced 1/4) (Decimal 0.25) I hope this helped ^^
