rq i know how to solve this normally

#

but i dont understand

#

this method

#

like i know how to get to the simultaneous equation

#

but not what you do after

austere scroll Jul 3, 2025, 9:24 PM

#

surreal oasis but not what you do after

you have a system of equations to solve for a and b, so the usual processes for that

surreal oasis Jul 3, 2025, 9:24 PM

#

oh do i solvve

#

the simultaneous equations

#

?

#

and expand the bracket

#

finding a and b

austere scroll Jul 3, 2025, 9:24 PM

#

well.. substitution or elimination again like usual

surreal oasis Jul 3, 2025, 9:24 PM

#

?

austere scroll Jul 3, 2025, 9:25 PM

#

you have the system 2a+3b=p and 3a-2b=4

#

clearly those equations are equivalent to 6a+9b=3p and 6a-4b=8, subtracting the 1st from the 2nd gives 13b=3p-8

#

hence you have b = (3p-8)/13

#

hence you can get a

#

alternatively, you just multiply the initial numerator and denominator by the denominator's conjugate, just like you've likely done with radicals (sqrt(a)-sqrt(b) type denominators)

alr

austere scroll Jul 3, 2025, 9:28 PM

#

but yeah.. it's just knowledge you should already have in either case

#

the prior especially, the latter the same general idea

surreal oasis Jul 3, 2025, 9:29 PM

#

austere scroll but yeah.. it's just knowledge you *should* already have in either case

well im doing stuff a year ahead

#

thats why

#

but i understand that

austere scroll Jul 3, 2025, 9:29 PM

#

Ok

#

but given you havent asked anything, I assume my explanation was 100% clear?

surreal oasis Jul 3, 2025, 9:29 PM

#

yeah

#

i understand

austere scroll Jul 3, 2025, 9:29 PM

#

ok

#

feel free to close the channel then
