2t + 5b = 20
8t + 3b = 29
Multiply the first equation by-4
-8t -20b = -80
8t + 3b = 29
-17b = -51
b = 3
Plug 3 in for b into either equation and solve for t.
2t + 5(3) = 20
2t + 15 = 20
2t = 5
Divide both sides by 2
t = 2.50
Answer:
A. x = -3
B. x = 2
C. x = 9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
(A) –12x + 9 = –15x
Collect like terms
9 = -15x + 12x
9 = -3x
x = 9 / -3
x = -3
(B) 4.5x + 11.5 = 8.5x + 3.5
4.5x - 8.5x = 3.5 - 11.5
-4x = -8
x = -8 / -4
x = 2
(C) 23x – 9 = 13x
-9 = 13x - 23x
-9 = -10x
x = -9 / -10
x = 9/10
<span>A) 3x+4y=17
B) -4x-3y=-18 Multiplying B) by .75
</span><span>B) -3x -2.25y= -13.5 then adding this to A
</span><span><span>A) 3x + 4y = 17</span>
1.75y = 3.5
y = 2
</span><span>
A) 3x + 4*2 = 17</span>
3x + 8 = 17
3x = 9
x = 3
(3,2)
Answer: 2 5/6 I think.
Wait no. I just did the math and it would be 2 1/2
