3.2-5.7=-2.5 so its have to be a negative because a smaller number subtract a bigger number have to be equal to a negative number.
A-3b=9
a=b-3
b-3-3b=9
-2b-3=9
-2b=12
2b=-12
b=-6
a=-6-3
a=-9
Solution: (-9,-6)
----
Check:
-9=-6-3
-9=-9
TRUE
X = pencils, y = pens
8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75
4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50
1000= 10^3 -- ten to the third power
assuming you mean whole numbers,
graba calculator, figure out what
1^3, 2^3 3^3 ... 9^3 are
or
1x1x1
2x2x2
3x3x3
...
9x9x9
