Question

Do a and b have the same value in the equations 2(a-1.1)=5.8 and 5/2b-2 3/4=7 1/4

Answer 1

Answer:

• Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve each equation and compare the solutions

1.

• 2(a - 1.1) = 5.8
• a - 1.1 = 5.8/2
• a - 1.1 = 2.9
• a = 2.9 + 1.1
• a = 4

2.

• (5/2)b - 2 3/4 = 7 1/4
• 2.5b = 7 1/4 + 2 3/4
• 2.5b = 10
• b = 10/2.5
• b = 4

Both a and b have same value
