Answer:

A=-2; B=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

3a - 2b + 4 =0

2a -5b -1 = 0

Let's multiple the top equation by 2, and the bottom by -3, and then use addition.

[3a - 2b + 4 =0]*2

[2a -5b -1 = 0]*(-3)

6a-4b+8=0

-6a+15b+3=0

Now add the two equations together:

11b + 11 = 0

Subtract 11 from both sides

11b = -11

Divide both sides by 11

b=-1

Substitute in the first equation:

3a - 2(-1) + 4 = 0

Simplify to get 3a+6 = 0

Subtract 6 from both sides to get 3a = -6

Divide both sides by 3 to get a=-2

A 165 inch pipe is cut into two pieces. One piece is four times the length of the other.Find the length of the shorter piece. Ho

Answer:

Length of longer length=132 inches

Length of shorter length=33 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine total length of pipe

Total length of pipe=165 inches

Step 2: Derive expression for all the lengths

We can express all these lengths as follows;

L=l1+l2

where;

L=total length

l1=length of longer piece

l2=length of shorter piece

but;

length of longer piece=4×length of shorter piece

replacing;

l1=4l2

replacing;

L=165

l1=4×l2

165=l 2+4 l2

5 l2=165

l2=165/5

l2=33 inches

l1=length of longer length=33×4=132 inches

l2=length of shorter length=33 inches

2x2 - 12x + 10<br>what are the roots

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

5 & 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the quadratic formula to solve this:

Quadratic Formula = $\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

So we will have 2 answers (roots).

a is the coefficient of x^2 (2)

b is the coefficient of x (-12)

c is the constant (10)

Now, substituting, we get:

x = $\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}=\frac{12+-\sqrt{(-12)^2-4(2)(10)} }{2(2)}=\frac{12+-\sqrt{64} }{4}=\frac{12+-8}{4}=\frac{12+-8}{4}=5,1$

Hence the roots are 5 & 1

After you add both sides by 9. How can you solve for 5z in this equation <br> 5z-3=12

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

OPTION A: Divide both the sides by 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given: 5z - 3 = 12

When we add 9 to both sides we get:

5z - 3 + 9 = 12 + 9

⇒ 5z + 6 = 21

⇒ 5z = 21 - 6 = 15

⇒ 5z = 15

To find the value of z we have to divide both the sides by 5.

i.e., $\frac{5z}{5} = \frac{15}{5}$

⇒ z = 3.
