Solving Linear Systems by Elimination Solve each of the following linear systems by elimination, and check the solution a) 0.1a -0.4b = 1.9 0.4a +0.5b = -0.8
​

a = 3     b = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

 4  (0.1a -0.4b) = (1.9)      0.4a - 1.6b = 7.6

     0.4a - 1.6b = 7.6

-     0.4a +0.5b = -0.8

-2.1b = 8.4

b = -4

0.4a + 0.5(-4) = -0.8

0.4a - 2 = -0.8

0.4a = 1.2

a = 3

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
