ANSWER:

x – 3y = 2 ...(1)
2x – 6y = 6 ...(2)

On solving eq(1), we get

x – 2 = 3y
x – 2/3 = y

Plug the value of x in eq(2)

2x – 6(x - 2/3) = 6
2x – 2(x – 2) = 6
2x – 2x + 4 = 6
0 = 6 – 4
0 ≠ 2

So, given system of equations is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 3y = 2

x=2+3y.....(1)

2x - 6y = 6

2(2+3y)-6y=6

it is not measurable.

Find the difference in simplest form. <br> 2b/b^2-2b+1 - 2/b^2-2b+1

kolezko [41]

1) factor the denominators: 2b/(b-1)2 - 2/ (b-1)2
2) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A COMMON DENOMINATOR
3) combine the numerators: 2b-2/(b-1)2
4) distribute 2 from numerator: 2(b-1)/(b-1)2
5) simplify; answer is 2/(b-1)

If average of 3 quantities is 15 , sum of quantities is....?

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three quantities be x, y and z.

$\because \: average = \frac{sum \: of \: quantities}{no \: of \: quantities} \\ \\ \therefore \: 15 = \frac{x + y + z}{3} \\ \\ 15 \times 3 = x + y + z \\ \\ \huge \purple{ 45 = x + y + z}$
