4a + 6b = 10
2a - 4b = 12...multiply by -2
----------------
4a + 6b = 10
-4a + 8b = - 24 (result of multiplying by -2)
------------------add
14b = - 14
b = -14/14
b = -1

2a - 4b = 12
2a - 4(-1) = 12
2a + 4 = 12
2a = 12 - 4
2a = 8
a = 8/2
a = 4

so 12a = 12(4) = 48 <==

What is the value of a in the equation a = 2 + 3a + 10?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

a= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a=2+3a+10

In order to find the value of a, we have to isolate a on a single side of the equation

So,

subtracting 3a from both sides

a-3a = 2+10+3a-3a

=>a-3a=12

=> -2a = 12

Dividing both sides by -2

=> -2a/-2 = 12/-2

=> a = -6

The value of a in the given equation is -6 ..

When would you want to use the median over the mean for describing the measure of center for a data set?
zheka24 [161]
Hello!

Sometimes when there are outliers in a data set, for example 1, 20,25,26,30, one is the outlier and when you find the mean it will not represent the data in the most accurate way. This is when you use the median to represent the part of the data set that has the information that is close together.

I hope this helps!
