Linear combination method just means to add the equations so that one variable with cancel. In this case the a values are already set up so that they will cancel.
2a + 3b = 1
-2a + b = 11
4b = 12
b = 3
now put 3 back into either of the original equations and solve for a.
2a + 3(3) = 1
2a + 9 = 1
2a = -8
a = -4
(-4,3)
The next greater tenth is 14.7
The next smaller tenth is 14.5
Neither of them is nearer to 14.6 than 14.6 already is.
So 14.6 is already the nearest tenth.
CosB= 7/25
tanB= 24/7
sinB= 24/25
