Here you have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns. An easy way to solve this type is to isolate one of the variables.
12a + 2b = 8
2b = 8 - 12a
b =
b = 4 - 6a
Now plug 4 - 6a into equation 1 to solve for a.
a + 5(4 - 6a) = 19
a + 20 - 30a = 19
-29a = -1
a = 1/29 (answer)
Now plug a into the equation for b
b= 4 - 6(1/29)
b= 110/29 (answer)
Answer: {5 ± 2√10, 5 - 2√10}
Step-by-step explanation: First isolate the binomial squared by adding 40 to both sides to get (x - 5)² = 40.
Next, square root both sides to get x - 5 = ± √40.
Notice that root of 40 can be broken down to 2√10.
So we have x - 5 = ± 2√10.
To get <em>x</em> by itself, add 5 to both sides to get x = 5 ± 2√10.
So our answer is just {5 ± 2√10, 5 - 2√10}.
As a matter of form, the number will always come before the
radical term in your answer to these types of problems.
In other words, we use 5 ± 2√10 instead of ± 2√10 + 5.
