Please help!!! Will award BRAINLIEST to best answer!!!
If 12a + 3b = 1 and 7b - 2a = 0, what is the average a and b?

Respuesta :

Answer: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add the equations:

12a + 3b = 1

-2a + 7b = 0

------------------- (you get):

10a + 10b = 1 (divide by 10)

a + b = 1/2 (divide by 2 since average of two numbers is their sum divided by 2)

(a + b) / 2 = 1/4
