Answer:

a = 15

b = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to solve by elimination

let us start by rewriting the first equation

We can do this by multiplying through by 10

We have this as;

2a -5b = 100

Now let us eliminate

Multiply equation ii by 2 and equation i by 1

2a -5b = 100

2a-2b = 58

Subtract equation ii from i

-3b = 42

b = 42/-3 = -14

Secondly;

Multiply equation ii by 5 and i by 1

2a - 5b = 100

5a -5b = 145

Subtract ii from i

-3a = -45

a = 45/3

a = 15

Do the ratios 42/56 and 56/64 form a proportion?<br> if they do explain your answer
Volgvan
Lets check...

42/56 = 56/64
cross multiply
(56)(56) = (42)(64)
3136 = 2688...(incorrect)...these are not proportional

proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions
42/56 = 3/4
56/64 = 7/8
as u can see, they are not equivalent fractions...so they are not proportional
