2. For the system below:
a. Solve the system by the linear combination method. Show all work carefully.
b. Check your answer.
a - 2b = 2
a - b = 6


Sagot :

a- 2b = 2  one of the 2 "A" most be negative so they can cancer each other 
-a- b = 6   after the "A" cancel each other add the -2b with -b = -3b, then add 2 
--------------    and 6 
    -3b=8    then you have to divide 8 by -3 = -2.6       -2.6 its b... now you have to solve for b       step  1.  a -2b = 2   step 2.   a -2(-2.6)=2     step 3   a -5.3 = 2  then subtract -5.3 with 2 so that going to be 2 + 5.3 =7.3 then divide by a 
final answer (-2.5,-7.3)
sorry its kinda hard to explained here, i hope you get the point :)
