\text{Substitute the values of x and y to the equation}\\\\x=-2,\ y=6,\ 3ax+2by=6\\\\3a(-2)+2b(6)=6\\\\-6a+12b=6\qquad|\text{add 6a to both sides}\\\\12b=6a+6\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 12}\\\\b=\dfrac{6a}{12}+\dfrac{6}{12}\\\\\boxed{b=\dfrac{1}{2}a+\dfrac{1}{2}}

6 1⁄3 + 7 1⁄4 – 2 1⁄2 =
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

11 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

6 1/3 = 19/3

7 1/4 = 29/4

2 1/2 = 5/2

19/3 + 29/4 - 5/2


We must find the LCM of 3, 4, and 2. This happens to be 12

3*4 = 12

4*3 = 12

2*6 = 12

Multiply each fraction by the factor that'll get it to 12.


19/3 * 4/4 = 76/12

29/4 * 3/3 = 87/12

5/2 * 6/6 = 30/12

Now go through the problem


76/12 + 87/12 - 30/12

76 + 87 = 163

163/12 - 30/12

163 - 30 = 133

133/12

Simplify

133/12 = 11.0833... or 11 1/12


Hope this helps.

The graph below shows a system of equations:
ycow [4]
-x + y = 4
2x+3y= 2

-2x + 2y = 8
2x + 3y = 2

5y = 10

y= 2

-x + 2 = 4

-x = 2

x = -2
