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:
271 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
15.95+0.92 x=265.27
0.92 x=265.27-15.95
.92 x=249.32
x=24932/92=271
Bill = $25.85
Tips = 15% x $25.85 = $3.88
Tax = 6.25% x $25.85 = $1.62
Total amount = $25.85 + $3.88 + $1.62 = $31.35
