Answer:

2a - 5b = 1

3a + 5b = 14

Let's solve this system using elimination. Add the equations together to cancel the b-terms, then solve for a.

   2a - 5b = 1

  3a + 5b = 14

+___________

   5a - 0 = 15

        5a = 15

          a = 3

Next, plug 3 for a into either of the equations and solve for b.

 2a - 5b = 1

2(3) - 5b = 1

   6 - 5b = 1

      - 5b = -5

          b = 1

Lastly, check all work by plugging both values for their respective variables.

    2a - 5b = 1

2(3) - 5(1) = 1

        6 - 5 = 1  --  This is true

    3a + 5b = 14

3(3) + 5(1) = 14

        9 + 5 = 14  --  This is true

The solution to the system of equations is (3, 1).

A line passes through the points (p, a) and (p, –a) where p and a are real numbers and p ≠ 0. Describe each of the following. Ex
Helen [10]
<span> line passes through the points (p, a) and (p, –a)
where p and a are real numbers and p ≠ 0
(p, a) and (p, –a) m = Cannot divide by ZERO, there is no slope to this Line.
slope of the line: no slope (does not exist)
equation of the line: x = p Perpendicular Line
</span><span>slope of a line perpendicular to the given line: would be m = 0, horizontal Line y= 3
</span>y- intercept: none

Mark estimates that the distance from his house to his school is 15.5 mi. The actual distance is 14.5 mi.
lapo4ka [179]
So the error is 1 mile

I ask what % of 15.5 = 1

How you write this;

x/100 *15.5 = 1

15.5x = 100

x = 100/15.5

x = 6.451629 round up 6.45

% error is 6.45 %
