Question

Find an ordered pair to represent a in the equation a = 2b + c if b=(6,3) and c=(-4,8)

Answer 1

2b= 2(6,3)

(12, 6) + (-4, 8) = (12+(-4)), (6+8) =

(8, 14)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The ordered pair to represent a in the equation a=2b+c if b=(6,3) and c=(-4,8) is: a=(8,14)

Explanation:

b=(6,3)

c=(-4,8)

a=2b+c

Replacing b and c in the equation above:

a=2(6,3)+(-4,8)

Multiplying:

a=(2*6,2*3)+(-4,8)

a=(12,6)+(-4,8)

Adding:

a=(12+(-4),6+8)

a=(12-4,14)

a=(8,14)
