1 / ( -5)(-5)(-5)

Find an ordered pair to represent a in the equation a=2b+c if b=(6,3) and c=(-4,8)

zaharov [31]

Answer:

The ordered pair to represent a in the equation a=2b+c if b=(6,3) and c=(-4,8) is: a=(8,14)

Step-by-step explanation:

b=(6,3)

c=(-4,8)

a=2b+c

Replacing b and c in the equation above:

a=2(6,3)+(-4,8)

Multiplying:

a=(2*6,2*3)+(-4,8)

a=(12,6)+(-4,8)

Adding:

a=(12+(-4),6+8)

a=(12-4,14)

a=(8,14)
