Write Equations: First, let's write down the system of equations we need to solve:\begin{aligned}0.7a - 0.8b &= −0.1 (\newline\) a - 1.4 &= −6(b - 0.1)\end{aligned}
Simplify Second Equation: We will start by simplifying the second equation. Distribute the −6 on the right side of the equation:a−1.4=−6b+0.6
Isolate Variable a: Next, we add 1.4 to both sides of the second equation to isolate a:a=−6b+0.6+1.4
Substitute into First Equation: Now, we simplify the right side of the equation by combining like terms: a=−6b+2
Distribute 0.7: We can now substitute the expression for a from the second equation into the first equation: 0.7(−6b+2)−0.8b=−0.1
Combine Like Terms: Distribute the 0.7 into the parentheses: −4.2b+1.4−0.8b=−0.1
Correct Combination of Terms: Combine like terms by adding the coefficients of b:−4.2b−0.8b=−1.4−0.1
Correct Combination of Terms: Combine like terms by adding the coefficients of b:−4.2b−0.8b=−1.4−0.1The correct combination of like terms should be:−4.2b−0.8b=−5b1.4−0.1=1.3So the equation should be:−5b=−1.3
