The given equations that make up the systems are:

-3a+7b=-16...................(Equation 1)

-9a+5b=16...................(Equation 2)

To find the values of a and b we will have to solve the two equations. To solve the equations let us employ the method of elimination.

Let us multiply (Equation 1) by -3. This will give us:

-3\times (-3a+7b=-16)=9a-21b=48...........(Equation 3)

Let us now add (Equation 2) to (Equation 3) to eliminate a. This will give us:

-16b=64

\therefore b=-4

Plugging this value of b in any of the equations we will get the value of a. Let us plug it in (Equation 1). This gives:

-3(-4)+7b=-16

12+7b=-16

\therefore b=\frac{-28}{7}=-4

Thus, out of the given options, the first option is the correct one. The values of a and b are both equal to –4.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -6) and has a<br> slope of - 1/3
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

y = mx + b

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Slope of - 1/3

This means that m = -\frac{1}{3}

So

y = -\frac{1}{3}x + b

Through the point (-6, -6)

This means that when x = -6, y = -6. So

y = -\frac{1}{3}x + b

-6 = -\frac{1}{3}(-6) + b

b + 2 = -6

b = -8

The equation of the line is y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 8

Solve the following
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

2000000 bricks

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of bricks to be used is shown below:

The Volume of brick is

= (15 × 8 × 5)cm^3

= 600 cm^3

And, the Volume of wall is

= (1500 × 1000 × 800)cm^3

= 1200000000 cm^3

Now Bricks needed is

= 1200000000 cm^3 ÷ 600cm^3

= 2000000 bricks

O Question 51 pt 1DetailsThe table below gives the number of hours spent watching TV last week by a sample of 24 children. Find
Dmitriy789 [7]

Recall that the mean of a given set of numbers is the sum of the numbers divided by the number of numbers, therefore, the mean of the dataset is:

\bar{x}=59.54.

Now, the range of a data set is the difference between the maximum and the minimum, in this case, the maximum is 99, and the minimum is 15 therefore, the range is:

99-15=84.

Finally, the standard deviation is given by the following formula:

s=\frac{1}{N-1}\sum(x_i-\bar{x})^2,

where N is the sample size, x_i is an element of the set, and x^- is the mean. The standard deviation of the set is:

s=24.35.<h2>Answer: </h2>\begin{gathered} mean=59.54, \\ range=84, \\ standard\text{ deviation=24.35.} \end{gathered}
