Hi Kristian
a - 3b = 22
a = b - 2
We need to solve a = b -2 for a
First, we need to substitute b - 2 for a in a - 3b = 22
a - 3b = 22
b - 2 - 3b = 22
-2b - 2 = 22
-2b = 22 + 2
-2b = 24
b = 24/-2
b = -12
Now substitute -12 for b in a = b - 2
a = b -2
a= -12 - 2
a= -14
Thus, the solution is a = -14 and b = -12
The correct option is the last one (-14,-12)
If you have questions about my answer, please let me know.
Good luck!

Answer:
-50
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we must know that ab is the same as:
ab is the same as a multiply b
Now, since a is given as -5, we can substitute a with -5. This is shown below:
substitute ab with -5
Similarly, b is given as 10. So, we can substitute b with 10:
substitute b with 10
With this, we can now evaluate ab as shown below:
ab is equal to -50
Answer:
3. 4a(a + 1) - 15
step-by-step explanation:
1. (x +y)² + 11 (x + y) + 30
= x + y {(x +y) + 11} + 30
2. (a - b)² - 16(a - b) + 60
= (a - b){(a - b) - 16} + 60
3. 4a² + 4a - 15) - 15
4. 2x² + 5x + 2
= x(2x + 5) + 2
