Question

Find an ordered pair to represent a in the equation a = b + c if b = (6,3) and c = (-4,8)

Answer 1

The ordered pair to represent a in the equation a=b+c if b=(6,3) and c=(-4,8) is: a=(2,11)

Explanation:

b=(6,3)

c=(-4,8)

a=b+c

Replacing b and c in the equation above:

a=(6,3)+(-4,8)

Adding:

a=(6+(-4),3+8)

a=(6-4,11)

a=(2,11)
