Considering the first equation 15 × 0 = -36 + a
15 × 0 = 0
therefore, -36 + a =0
In the second equation
24 × 8 × 0 = 36 - b
Consider the LS
24 × 8 × 0 = 0
Therefore, 36 - b = 0
we are left with the two equations,
36 - b = 0
-36 + a = 0
then, we calculate the number that can be substituted to satisfy the two equations.
solving the equations
b = 36, and a = 36
Therefore, 36 is the number that can be used to substitute a and b in the equations
Answer:
-x -9y
Step-by-step explanation:
-(3x+y)+2(x-4y)
-3x -y +2x -2*4y
-x -y -8y
-x -9y
Number the tables as follows:
1 2
3 4
Eliminate 3 and 4 immediately, because for x = 2 the y values are wrong (3 and 1).
In tables 1 and 2, the input (1) produces the correct output (-1).
So we have to determine which table agrees 100% with the system of equations given.
Comparing tables 1 and 2, row by row, we see that their contents are the same EXCEPT for the first rows. So focus on determing which of those 2 rows displays values that satisfy both given equations.
First I looked at y=2x-5, and subst. -1 for x. I got -7, which is correct in table 1 but not in table 2 (where the value would be -13).
Thus, table 1 correct represents the solution of the system of equations.
Below is a scale drawing of the town swimming pool. In the drawing, the longest side of the
pool has a length of 10 inches. Paco creates a new scale drawing of the pool. In his drawing,
the longest side of the pool has a length of 5 inches. What scale is Paco's new drawing?
