Since the second equation gives a value for a, we can substitute it into the other equation to find a value for B.
Let's substitute b-2 into the first equation wherever there is an a.
a - 3b = 4
(b-2) - 3b = 4
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2 - 2b = 4
-2b = 6
b = -3
Now let's find a by substituting -3 into either of the equations to find the value of a.
a = b - 2
a = -3 - 2
a = -5
So your solution set is (-5, -3)
The volume of a prism = area of the base * height
substitute:
640 = A * 8
base area=80 sq ft<span />
Answer: B
3•5=15
Since were finding x it’s going to be
x=3y-15
It’s subtraction because obviously if you see in the problem there’s subtraction
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The sample space of an event is the list of all possible outcomes.
Let F represent moving forward and B represent moving backward. This makes the sample space for the game
F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6
B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6
There are 6 ways to move backward; only 3 of these are even numbers.
This is 3 ways out of 12 possible moves; this makes the probability
3/12 = 1/4
X/y = 2 so x = 2y
z/x = 4 so z = 4x but x = 2y so z = 4(2y) = 8y
now you have
x = 2y, z = 8y
x + y + z 2y + y + 8y 11y 11
------------ = -----------------------= ------------- = ----------- = 5 1/2
x 2y 2y 2
answer
C. 5 1/2
