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

stellarik [79]

Hmm, I'm confused...

An integer is a whole number. Right now you have +13 yards so I guess the answer is 13, idk for sure, lol.

Simplify.<br> 4/x^2-35 - 1/x+5

Oksana_A [137]

If I understand your question well, I suppose you mean $\frac{4}{ x^{2} -35} - \frac{1}{x+5}$
$\frac{4}{ x^{2} -35} - \frac{1}{x+5} = \frac{4}{(x+5)(x-7)}- \frac{1}{x+5} \\ = \frac{1}{x+5}( \frac{4}{x-7}-1) \\ = \frac{1}{x+5}( \frac{4}{x-7}- \frac{x-7}{x-7}) \\ = \frac{1}{x+5}( \frac{4-x+7}{x-7}) \\ = \frac{1}{x+5}( \frac{11-x}{x-7}) \\ = \frac{11-x}{ x^{2} -35}$
