Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

 a + b = 4

 a -  b = 8        add the two equations to solve the system of equations

a + a + b + (- b) = 4 + 8

 2a  + 0b = 12

      2a/2  = 12 /2

           a  =  6

    a + b = 4

    a - a + b = 4 -a

            b = 4 - 6

            b =  -2

Systems Of Elimination(PLZ HELP BEST ANSWER=Brainliest)<br><br><br> x+2y=2<br> -x+3y=13
joja [24]
<span>x + 2y = 2
-x + 3y = 13

As the x-terms of these equations are already opposites, you can begin to solve by elimination by adding the equations together.

</span>     x + 2y = 2
    -x + 3y = 13
+___________
     0 + 5y = 15
             y = 3

Now that you have y, substitute its value, 3, into either equation to find x.

x + 2y = 2
x + 2(3) = 2
x + 6 = 2
x = -4

Lastly, check all work by substituting both x- and y-values into both original equations.

x + 2y = 2
-4 + 2(3) = 2
-4 + 6 = 2
2 = 2

-x + 3y = 13
-(-4) + 3(3) = 13
4 + 3(3) = 13
4 + 9 = 13
13 = 13

Answer:
x = -4
y = 3

(-4, 3)

A town has a population of 8000 and grows at 3% every year. To the nearest tenth of a year, how long will it be until the popula
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

It will take approximately 34 years

Step-by-step explanation:

If a town population is 8000 and grows 3% annually.

How long will it take to reach 16300

growth is 16300 - 8000 = 8300

using simple interest formula

SI = (P × r × t)/100

8300 = (8000 × 3 × t)100

8300= (80 × 3)t

8300 = 240t

t = 8300/240

t ≈ 34 years to the nearest tenth
