Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2a + b = 6......equation 1
a - 6 = b
a = b + 6........equation 2
Putting equation 2 in equation 1
2 ( b + 6 ) + b = 6
2b + 12 + b = 6
3b = 6 - 12
3b = - 6
b = - 6 / 3
Therefore b = - 2
Now
a = - 2 + 6 = 4
hope it will help :)
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
We want to simplify

We multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

We cancel the common factors to get,

This gives us,
Answer:
The correct answer is 15 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the required poster be a cm.
We need to have a 6 cm margin at the top and a 4 cm margin at the bottom. Thus total margin combining top and bottom is 10 cm.
Similarly total margin combining both the sides is (4+4=) 8 cm.
So the required printing area of the poster is given by {( a-10 ) × ( a - 8) } 
This area is equal to 125
as per as the given problem.
∴ (a - 10) × (a - 8) = 125
⇒
- 18 a +80 -125 =0
⇒
- 18 a -45 = 0
⇒ (a-15) (a-3) = 0
By law of trichotomy the possible values of a are 15 and 3.
But a=3 is absurd as a
4.
Thus the required answer is 15 cm.
