Answer:
a = -2 and b = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve for the value of "a" and "b".
We need to distribute and make the left side of the equation same form as the right side of the equation and match the coefficients, simple.
We will use the distributive property shown below to expand the left side and simplify.
<u>Distributive Property:</u> a(b-c) = ab - ac
Now, simplifying left hand side:
5x - 7(x - 1)
= 5x -7(x) -7(-1)
= 5x -7x +7
= -2x + 7
The right hand side is "ax + b".
If we match left-hand side and right-hand side, we see that:
a = -2
and
b = 7
THese are the only solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
1-
calculate the powers behind the brackets from left to right
2-
Calculate the powers (a power squared means the number times itself so 2 squared equals 4)
3-
Calculate the sum ( minus minus equals plus so for example 4- -5= 4+5=9)
4- 49+5+2= 56
The answer is the first option, <-20, -42>.
We can find this by first finding what -2u would equal by multiplying <5, 6> by -2. This gives us <-10, -12>.
Then we need to find out what 5v is equal to, by multiplying <-2, -6> by 5 to get <-10, -30>.
Now that we know what -2u and 5v are, we can substitute them into the equation and get
<-10, -12> + <-10, -30>, which we can split up into -10 - 10 = -20, and -12 - 30 = -42, so your final answer is <-20, -42>.
I hope this helps!
