Answer:
12=12
Step-by-step explanation:
2a = b
a -3b =12
To solve, set one of the equations equal to zero. The first equation is actually already set to 0.
b = 2a
Now you can plug this equation into the other one, by substituting the b in the equation with this.
a -3b = 12
a – 3(2a) = 12
Now all you have to do is distribute the 3 (multiply the number outside the parenthesis, 3 in this case, by everything inside).
a – 6a = 12
Combine like terms. Since we have 1 positive a and 6 negative ones, we subtract the two numbers without the signs
6-1 = 5
And take the sign of the larger number. Since 6 is large and 6 is negative, we are left with
-5a = 12
Now solve for a, which in this case means dividing both sides by -5
a = -12/5
Simplify
a = -2.4
Now that you have a, it’s easy to find b
b = 2a
b = 2(-2.4)
b= -4.8
Now you check your work by plugging your new a and b into either equation to see if it’s true.
-4.8 = 2(-2.4)
-4.8 = -4.8
And just for laughs let’s try the other equation
a -3b =12
-2.4 – 3(-4.8) = 12
Distribute the 3 again. Remember that when two negative numbers are multiplied they become positive.
-2.4 +14.4 = 12
12 = 12
Answer:
is there a picture
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
well you would need to look at how much he gets a weekend, and then worry anout the tips.
Step-by-step explanation:
He gets paid $80 each weekend, and a 15% with tips.
you would need to figure out the tips, by taking the $725 and timesing it by .15 for the percent.
which would be 108.75
you would now take 108.75 and add 80 to get what he made that weekend.
108.75+80 = 188.75 dollars

4. Answer is G
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not sure how to explain 1 since I used a calculator.
Number 4 is where you choose a point on the line and count 4 blocks up and 5 blocks left. If it hits another point on the line then that's the graph.
7 stamps. He will give 6 stamps to them each and there will be 7 left
