Hey there :)
We have two equations:
3a + 2b = 7
2a + 2b = 9
We need to solve simultaneously to find the values of a and b
eq.1 3a + 2b = 7
eq.2 ( 2a + 2b = 9 ) x -1 ) multiply by -1 to cancel 2b
3a + 2b = 7
- 2a - 2b = -9 ( Add both together )
-------------------
a = - 2 Substitute the value you found for a in a in order to find b
3( - 2 ) + 2b = 7 2( - 2 ) + 2b = 9
- 6 + 2b = 7 OR - 4 + 2b = 9
2b = 13 2b = 13
b =
b =
I would say A
hope that helps!!!
Answer: The numbers are 10 and 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller number be x
And the larger number be y
Ist sentence;
1. The sum of two numbers is 33.
X + y= 33 .........eqn 1
2. second sentence
the larger number is 3 more than two times the smaller number.
Y = 3 +2x
Put y into eqn 1
X+ 3 +2x = 33
3x= 33- 3
3x= 30
X = 30/3
X= 10 and y= 3+ 2x
Y= 3+ 2(10)
Y = 3+ 20
Y= 23
Therefore the two numbers are 10 and 23
Answer:
the answer i think is $259200
Step-by-step explanation:
if the bank charges 7.2% every year, and in this case it's 4 years, then that would mean it would be 28.8%(7.2 x 4), which means the answer would be 9000 x 28.8 which is 259200.
Hope it helped
Answer:
You are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with 1 1/2. This can be made into an improper fraction which is 3/2
Now multiply both top and bottom of 3/2 by 5
(3*5)/(2 * 5) = 15 / 10
16/10 is just slightly bigger than 15/10
