The equations are: a - b = 7, and a - 4b = -7. Please solve for a and b and explain how you arrived at the answer. Thanks. Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! X) a-b=7
Y) a-4b=-7
.
X) a=b+7
Y)
(b+7)-4b=-7
b+7-4b=-7
-3b=-14
b=14/3
.
X)
a- 14/3=-7
3a-14=21
3a=35
a=35/3
.
