Answer:

  a = 8; b = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Filling in the given values gives you two equations.

  7 = a(2) +b

  -1 = a(1) +b

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  (7) -(-1) = (2a +b) -(a +b)

  8 = a . . . . . simplify

Using this value in the first equation gives ...

  7 = (8)(2) +b

  b = 7 -16 = -9

The constants are a = 8, b = -9.

I dont understand and this is very urgent so can someone help me out please?
wariber [46]

Answer:

Please Find the solution below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say the two equations are

x+y=5            --------------(A)

x-y=1              -------------(B)

Let us solve them for x and y by adding them

2x=6

x=3

Hence from (A)

3+y=5

y=2

Hence our solution is

x=3, y=2

Adding same number to equation (A) say 2 we get

x+y+2=5+2

x+y=5+2-2

x+y=5

Hence equation remains the same while adding same number to each side.

Same thing happens if we add same number to equation (B)

Hence we draw the conclusion that the solution remains the same if same number is added to each side of the original equation.

___,36 ,108 ,324 ,972

12

First figure out of it is a arithmetic or geometric sequence, in this case it is a geometric sequence because you have to multiply, not add to find the next number.

Divide one number, I'll pick 324 by the number before it, 108, you get three.

Now divide 36 by 3, you get 12.

To check, multiply 12 by 3, you get 36, multiply that by 3, you get 108, and so on and so forth.
