By the zero product property, a or b must be 0 if ab = 0. Or you could solve for each variable.

Divide both sides by b:
b=0/a —> b=0

Divide both sides by b:
a=0/b —> a=0

Hmm A could be 4 and b could be 1 because 4*1=4

Natasha2012 [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+5y=4 (equation 1)

2x-y=9 (equation2)

solving equation 1 and 2 and multiplying equation 2 by 2

4x-2y=18

- + -

________

7y= -14

y= -2

A circus performer walks on a tightrope 25 feet above the ground. The tightrope is supported by two beams and two support cables
miv72 [106K]
The length of the support cable is about 29 feet.

If you sketch out the question, you will see that it will form a right triangle with the cable as the hypotenuse.

Just set up and use the Pythagorean Theorem.

15^2 + 25^2 = c^2
850 = c^2
29.15 = c
