Solve the system by substitution. Check your solution. A minus 1.2 b = negative 3. 0.2 b + 0.6 a = 12 a. (15, 15) c. (13, 12) b. (10, 12) d. (7, 9)

The answer to the question is -1.32

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step will be to write out the equation that we are working with:

This equation is

The next step is to write out the values of the figures that we are substituting:

Substitution in mathematics can best be understood as "something being used in place of another thing". This means that wherever the first variable appears in an equation, the substituting values will replace it and multiply the number it is attached to.

In this case, we will replace the 'b' and the 'a' with the - 1.2 and - 3 respectively.

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3

you answer is a
