Step 1:
Line up respective variables in column.
.................(1)
.................................(2)
Step 2:
We need to multiply first equation with -2 so that the coefficient of b becomes equal and opposite of -8.
*2
...................(3)
Step 3:
Add equation (2) and (3)

The b terms will cancel out and we are left with only a terms.
-11a = 22
dividing both sides by -11
a=-2
Step 4:
plug this value of a in equation (1) to find value of b,



b=-9
Answer : a=-2 and b =-9
There you go and sorry if it’s not that clear:
0.3 X 10 to the power of 5!
Answer:
10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 2/3 by 5 because 1/5*5=1 hr
2/3*5=10/3
Answer:
(x = -6), (y = -6)
(-6,-6)
Step-by-step explanation:
X=-6
3x - 2y = -6
3(-6) - 2y = -6
-18 - 2y = -6
What you do to one side, you do to the other. And when you take it over to the other side, you'll have to turn -18 into a positive 18.
-2y = 18 - 6
-2y = 12
Divide both sides by -2
y = -6
