107 = 7 -2 (7b - 1)

First, distribute -2 to all terms within the parenthesis

-2(7b - 1) = -14b + 2

107 = 7 -14b + 2

Combine like terms

107 = -14b (+7 + 2)

107 = -14b + 9

Isolate the b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

Subtract 9 from both sides

107 (-9) = -14b + 9 (-9)

107 - 9 = -14b

98 = -14b

Isolate the b. Divide -14 from both sides

(98)/-14 = (-14b)/-14

98/-14 = b

b = −7

-7 is your answer

hope this helps

Translate to a system of equations:
omeli [17]

Answer:

m + n = 15

m - 3 = n

The numbers are 9 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The sum of two numbers is fifteen; the first number is m and the second number is n. To translate to a system of equations, we can write that

m + n = 15 ..... (1)

Also, from the question,

One number is three less than the other,

Also, to translate to a system of equations, we can write that

m - 3 = n ...... (2)

If desired, we can determine m and n

From equation (1)

m + n = 15

Then,

m = 15 - n ...... (3)

Put the value of m in equation (3) into equation (2)

m - 3 = n

Then

15 - n - 3 = n

15 - 3 = n + n

12 = 2n

n = 12/2

∴ n = 6

For m, put the value of n into equation 3

m = 15 - n

m = 15 - 6

m = 9

∴ m = 9 and n = 6

Hence, the numbers are 9 and 6
