Answer:
a =
, b = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute (1, 4) and (3, 1) into the equation
a + 4b = 1 → (1)
3a + b = 1 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by - 3 and adding to (2) will eliminate a
- 3a - 12b = - 3 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate a
0 - 11b = - 2
- 11b = - 2 ( divide both sides by - 11 )
b = 
Substitute this value into (1) and solve for a
a + 4(
) = 1
a +
=
( subtract
from both sides )
a =
-
= 
Answer:
a= 3/11
b = 2/11
Step-by-step explanation:
a(1) + b(4) = 1
a + 4b = 1
a(3) + b(1) = 1
3a + b = 1
b = 1-3a
a + 4(1-3a) = 1
a+ 4-12a = 1
-11a = -3
a = 3/11
b = 1-3(3/11)
b= 2/11

Answer:
1/16
Step-by-step explanation:
2^-4
We know that a^ -b = 1/ a^b
2^-4 = 1/2^4
2^4 =16
so 1/2^4 = 1/16
To write 4 as a time you write 4:00, Then the word after means to add 23 minutes to the 4 so we have 4:23
