Since the second equation gives a value for a, we can substitute it into the other equation to find a value for B.
Let's substitute b-2 into the first equation wherever there is an a.
a - 3b = 4
(b-2) - 3b = 4
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2 - 2b = 4
-2b = 6
b = -3
Now let's find a by substituting -3 into either of the equations to find the value of a.
a = b - 2
a = -3 - 2
a = -5
So your solution set is (-5, -3)
Answer:
B.) 8x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Distributive Property the 4 is multiplied by each number inside the parentheses
4*2x = 8x
4*3 = 12
8x+12
Answer:
x = -1
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
i believe this shape is a rhombus because the diagonals are perpendicular and bisectors, meaning m∡A = m∡B = m∡C = m∡D
so AC = CB = BC = DA
y + 1 = 2y - 3
1 = y - 3
4 = y
Plugging in 4 for 'y' means all sides are equal to 5
find x: 2x + 7 = 5
2x = -2
x = -1
Answer:
y=11
Step-by-step explanation:
3y=y+22
3y-y=y-y+22
2y=22
y=11
simplify each term
apply the distributive property
-X+3+(-X- -5)
multiple -1 by -5
-X+3+(-x+5)
remove unnecessary parentheses
-x+3-×+5
subtract x from -x
-2x+3+5
add 3 and 5.
-2x+8
