Since the second equation gives a value for a, we can substitute it into the other equation to find a value for B.
Let's substitute b-2 into the first equation wherever there is an a.
a - 3b = 4
(b-2) - 3b = 4
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2 - 2b = 4
-2b = 6
b = -3
Now let's find a by substituting -3 into either of the equations to find the value of a.
a = b - 2
a = -3 - 2
a = -5
So your solution set is (-5, -3)
Cos theta = 75/115
theta = cos^-1 (75/115)
theta = 49.2 degrees
131 apples were sold on Saturday and Sunday.
Work:
Monday - Friday : 5 days
20 x 5 = 100 apples
Monday - Sunday: 7 days
33 x 7 = 231 apples
231 - 100 = 131
Divide 24 by 6 in order to see how many six second intervals there are. 24/6=4. Multiply 4x5 to show many stories the elevator travels. The answer will be 20 stories.
26 would 130% of 26%.
20 would be 100% of itself leading us to X being 130%.
That brings us to two equations of 20=100% and x=130%
20/x=100%/130%
20/x=100/130
(20/x)*x=(100/130)*x
20=0.769230769231*x
26/0.769230769231=x
26=x therefor x=26
