Answer:
b = 43
Step-by-step explanation:
So let's plug things in first:
y= 2x - 20 and y= -5x +b which can become →
2x - 20 = -5x + b (now you said that x=9 so let's plug that in)
2(9) -20 = -5(9) + b (now try solving that)
18 -20 = -45 + b → -2 = -45 + b ( so then add 45 to both sides)
43 = b ( and there's your answer )
Make note of the coefficients in the first and fourth equations. They've been conveniently picked so that subtracting one equation from the other eliminates every variable but <em>t</em>. We have
(3<em>r</em> + 2<em>s</em> + <em>t</em> + 2<em>u</em> + 3<em>v</em>) - (3<em>r</em> + 2<em>s</em> + 3<em>t</em> + 2<em>u</em> + 3<em>v</em>) = 7 - 17
-2<em>t</em> = -10
<em>t</em> = 5
Answer= 13 _10= [23]_5
Please rewrite the same equation just put the 23 in the box
The Answer is 8.75 x 10¹²
