The answer is actually choice A
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6
Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away
The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6
To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2
2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3
We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'
Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'
3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1
So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)
--------------------------------------
To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations
Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out
Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well
So this confirms that the final answer is choice A

Answer:
Let total pages be x
ATQ,
(x/5)+40=7x/10
(x+200)/5=7x/10
Cross multiply
10x+2000=35x
10x-35x=-2000
-25x=-2000
x=2000/25
x=80 pages
Therefore pages left= 3/10 of pages
=3*80/10=24 pages
Answer:
the 11th term
Step-by-step explanation:
f(n) = 9+ 5n;
Let f(n) =64
64 = 9+5n
Subtract 9 from each side
64-9 = 9+5n-9
55 = 5n
Divide each side by 5
55/5 = 5n/5
11= n
