Answer:

  (C)  2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations 2a + 7b+2c=16 and 2a + 3b +2c= 8, you want to know the value of b.

<h3>Solution</h3>

The coefficients of 'a' and 'c' are the same in the two equations, so we can eliminate those variables by subtracting one equation from the other. We can keep the resulting coefficient of 'b' positive if we subtract the second equation from the first.

  (2a +7b +2c) -(2a +3b +2c) = (16) -(8)

  4b = 8 . . . . . . . simplify

  b = 2 . . . . . . . divide by 4

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Luke does a work of 308Nm

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

If we have a constant force \vec{F} that acts on a body in the same direction as the displacement \vec{s}, then the work W is defined as the product of the force magnitude F and the displacement magnitude s. In other words:

W=Fs, which is valid for a constant force in direction of straight-line displacement.

In this problem:

F=22N \\ \\ s=14m

Therefore:

W=22\times 14 \\ \\ \boxed{W=308Nm}
