4a=5b+5 2a=3b+2. solve using the method of elimination
please help !*​

Sagot :

Answer:

a = 2.5, b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

4a = 5b + 5 → (1)

2a = 3b + 2 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding the result to (1) will eliminate a

- 4a = - 6b - 4 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate a

0 = - b + 1 ( add b to both sides )

b = 1

Substitute b = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for a

Substituting into (2)

2a = 3(1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 2.5

Answer:

a = 2.5

b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4a = 5b + 5 and 2a = 3b + 2

→ Multiply the second equation by 2

4a = 6b + 4

→ Subtract this new equation from the first one

0 = b - 1

→ Find b by adding 1 on both sides

b = 1

→ Substitute b into one of the equation

4a = ( 5 × 1 ) + 5

→ Simplify

4a = 10

→ Divide both sides by 4

a = 2.5
