I believe it would be 12, I believe this because its states that it is TWICE as long therefore is made from the same metal so 6x2=12
Hey There :)
This is because one is half of two. You could also multiply 2 * 0.5= 1, 0.5 represents

and two is the whole number. This is how

of two equals one.

Answer:
b = 3 and a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
You have your given equation:
2a - 3b = -11
a + 3b = 8
You need to find what a and b is.
To find b:
2a - 3b = -11
-2a - 6b = -16
I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -2. When you multiply a number you have to multiply all of them. You have to choose a number that would cancel out all of a.
So now your equation would look like this when you solve for b:
2a - 3b = -11
-2a - 6b = -16
-------------------
a - 9 = -27 then you divide -9 to -27 which is 3 so b = 3.
To find a:
2a - 3b = -11
a + 3b = 8
I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -1 and 2a - 3b = -11 by -1 as well.
Your equation will look like this when you solve for a:
-2a + 3b = 11
-1a - 3b = -8
------------------
-3a = 3 then divide -3 to 3 which is -1 so a = -1.
Check to see if you have the correct answer by plugging in the number you got for a and b into the equation and solve.
1. 2(-1) -3(3) = -11
-2 - 9 = -11
2. -1 + 3(3) = 8
-1 + 9 = 8
Xz+y+1=z. given
y+1=z-xz. subtraction property of equality
y+1=z(1-x) distributive property of multiplication over addition/factoring
(1+y)/(1-x) = z division property of required, given x≠1
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes they are equivalent. You get -3 when you try solving the actual equation.
