16 1/3 is bigger than 1/4
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>
Answer: a = ¹/₂ (4 + b)</h2>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
To solve for 'a' we have to make it the subject of the equation. Since there are two unknowns ('a' & 'b'), we won't get a numerical value of 'a', but an expression in terms of the second unknown 'b'.
Since 2a - b = 4 <em> [add 'b' to both sides]</em>
then 2a = 4 + b <em>[divide both sides by 2 = multiplying by ¹/₂]</em>
a = ¹/₂ (4 + b)
First check whether the point (-6,8) is the solution to any of the equations. To check, just plug in the x and y values of the points into the equation and see if they give you a true statement.
5(-6)+3(8)=-6
-30+24=-6
-6=-6
That's a true statement so the point is the solution to the first equation.
2(-6)+(8)=-4
-12+8=-4
-4=-4
It is a true statement so the point is a solution for both equations
There are no other solution because lines can only intersect in one or infinite points, but that is only if they are the same lines, which is not true in this circumstance.
A. It is the only solution to the set.
Hope this helps.
