2a + 3b = 6 --> Equation 1
5a + 2b = 4 --> Equation 2
Equation 1 * 5 --> 10a + 15b = 30
Equation 2 * 2 --> 10a + 4b = 8
Equation 1 - Equation 2 --> 11b = 22 --> b = 2
Sub b=2 in Equation 1 (or 2, either works):
2a + 3b = 6
2a + 3(2) = 6
2a + 6 = 6
2a = 0
a = 0
b = 2, a = 0
The answer to your problem should be 5 wholes and 5/6 since the denominators are the same just add 6 more pieces to 4/6 to get an improper fraction then subtract to get the answer. Hope this helps and have a fabulous day!
Hello,
==============================================================
Answer:
The vertex is (-3, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
As the equation is already in 'rectangular form), to work out the vertex, we can just compare this equation to that of the standard parabola y = x^2, and in particular, consider how it has been translated:
the (x+3) part moves the graph the the left 3 (i.e in the negative direction), while the +7 moves the graph up 7.
So as the vertex of the simple parabola y = x^2 is (0,0), the vertex of this graph is just (-3,7).
Note that the -2 at the front doesn't impact this vertex - this -2 just changes the 'scale' of the parabola (i.e makes it more narrow, and also turns it upside down as it's a negative number).
5/10 is equal to 25/50
I ts because you multiply 5x5 to get 25 and do the same to the denominator so 10x5 is equal to 50 so 25/50 is the answer.
