a is given to us so just plug a into the first equation:
b-3 - 3b =9
Add 3 to both sides:
b-3b=12
Combine like terms:
-2b=12
Divide by -2 to get b by itself:
b=-6
The only answer with b as -6 is the first one, (-9,-6)
Answer:
A is most likely the next step in the series
Step-by-step explanation:
Each step, the number of sides is increasing by 1.
4,5,6 means that the next number of sides would be 7. Option A has 7 sides.
P = -16
Subtract 7 from both sides to isolate the variable.
Answer:
2, 1, 1/2, 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
2¹ = 2
2^0 = 1
2^-¹
= 1/2¹
= 1/2
2^-2
= 1/2²
= 1/2*2
= 1/4
To complete the table
2² 2¹ 2^0 2^-1 2^-2
4 2 1 1/2 1/4
