Hi there!
All you need to do to solve for a is add 1.6 to both sides of the equation.
It will look like this:
a - 1.6 + 1.6 = -3.7 + 1.6
After this you will see that a = -2.1.
Hope this helps!
When in doubt just replace a with -2.1 and see if you still get -3.7. :)
If it is less then 5 you do the next hundred down 5 and above the next one up
7^4 or seven to the fourth power because 7 is being multiplied by 7 when you raise it to a power.
Answer:
(x, y) = (1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
given the 2 equations
x + y = 4 → (1)
y = 3x → (2)
Substitute y = 3x into (1)
x + 3x = 4
4x = 4 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 1
Substitute x = 1 into (2) for corresponding value of y
y = 3 × 1 = 3
solution is (1, 3 )
