  1. 4b + 6u = 22

    15b - 6u = - 3-----ADD

    19b = 19

    b = 1

    2 + 3u = 11

    3u = 9

    u = 3

    u = 3 , b = 1


  2. 1st value of u:

    2b + 3u = 11

    3u = 11 - 2b

    u = (11 - 2b)/3

    2nd value of u:

    5b - 2u = - 1

    2u = 5b + 1

    u = (5b + 1)/2

    Value of b:

    2(11 - 2b) = 3(5b + 1)

    22 - 4b = 15b + 3

    19b = 19

    b = 1

    Value of u:

    = (11 - 2[1])/3

    = (11 - 2)/3

    = 9/3 or 3

    Answer: b = 1, u = 3

    Proof (1st equation):

    2(1) + 3(3) = 11

    2 + 9 = 11

    11 = 11

    Proof (2nd equation):

    5(1) - 2(3) = - 1

    5 - 6 = - 1

    - 1 = - 1

  3. 2b+3u=11

    5b-2u=-1

    2(2b+3u=11)

    3(5b-2u=-1)

      4b+6u=22

    15b-6u=-3

    ــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

    19b=19 => b=1

    Now that we have got b , we put b(=1) in one of the equations :

    --->2b+3u=11

    5b-2u=-1

    --->(2*1)+3u = 11

    so 2+3u=11

         3u=11-2

         3u=9

    and u=9/3

          u=3

    **************************************...

    b=1

    and

    u=3

  4. 7b+1u=10

    so...

    u=10-7b

    5b-20+14=-1

    5b=-1+6

    b=1

    and

    u=3

  5. Here's How To Do It.

    2b + 3u = 11

    5b - 2u = -1

    So We Multiply Each of The Equations So One Of The Values In Each of The Sums Are The Same.

    2b + 3u = 11 (x2)

    5b - 2u = -1 (x3)

    This Gives You The Following;

    4b + 6u = 22

    15b - 6b = -3

    We Add The Two Equations Together To Get Rid Of The "b" So we get The Following;

    19b = 19

    So we Therefore Deduct That b =1. If B Equals One Then We Can Work Out U.

    2(1) + 3u =11 and,

    5(1) - 2u = -1 so,

    2+ 3u = 11 and

    5 -2u = -1.

    We Transfer The Values Over To The Opposite Side And We Get

    3u = 11 - 2 and

    -2u = -1 -5

    This Means That 3u = 9 and -2u = -6

    So Both Equations Give An Answer Of 3 When It Comes To U

    So We Deduce That:

    b = 1 and

    u = 3

    Check; 2(1) + 3(3) = 11 Correct So It Must be True!!

    Hope This Helps.
