Solve the simultaneous equations: 3a-2b=14 12a+9b=39

1 answer:

5 0

Use elimination
Multiply first equation by 4
12a - 8b = 56
12a + 9b = 39
Subtract both
-17b = 17
b = -1
Plug in -1 for b
3a - 2(-1) = 14
3a = 12, a = 4
Final answer: a = 4, b = -1

Help a sis out ??

REY [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let base be b then height h = 2b + 4

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ bh ( b is the base and h the height ) , then

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ b(2b + 4) ← distribute parenthesis

A = b² + 2b

When b = 16 , then

A = 16² + 2(16) = 256 + 32 = 288 in²

Use addition properties and strategies to find the sum..1.)34+62+51+46=? 2.)27+68+43=? 3.)42+36+18=? 4.)74+35+16+45=?

erica [24]

1.
$34 + 62 = 96 + 51 = 147$
$147 + 46 = 193$

2.
$27 + 68 = 95 + 43 = 138$
3.
$42 + 36 = 78 + 18 = 96$
4.
$74 + 35 = 109 + 16 = 125 + 45 =$
$= 70$
