3a + b = 54...when b = 9
3a + 9 = 54
3a = 54 - 9
3a = 45
a = 45/3
a = 15 <===

Salutations!

$3a+b = 54$

Replace b as 9

$3a+9=54$

$3a=54-9$

$3a=45$

$a= 45/3$

$a=15$

Thus, your answer is $15$

Hope I helped (:

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

696 large bags of flour were packed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let large bags of flour be 'y'

Let small bags of flour be 'x'. That is x=2040 (according to the question)

$(3 \times x) + (5 \times y) = 9600$

$(3 \times 2040) + ( 5 \times y) = 9600$

$(6120) + (5 \times x) = 9600$

$(5 \times x) = 9600 - 6120$

$(5 \times x) = 3480$

$x = 3480 \div 5$

$x = 696$

How do you solve 3x+7=x

vredina [299]

3x + 7 = x

First, subtract 3x from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 7 = x - 3x
Second, simplify x - 3x to -2x. / Your problem should look like: 7 = -2x
Third, divide both sides by -2. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{7}{-2}$ = x
Fourth, simplify $\frac{7}{-2}$ to $-\frac{7}{2}$ / Your problem should look like: $- \frac{7}{2}$ = x
Fifth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: x = $-\frac{7}{2}$

Answer as fraction: $-\frac{7}{2}$
Answer as decimal: -3.5

PLS HELP!!! The snowy tree cricket is sometimes called the temperature cricket because the frequency of its chirps varies based

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

62 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of snowy tree cricket chirps per minute is 148 less than 4 times the outside temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Let x = number of chirps

f = temp in Fahrenheit

x = 4f -148

Now let x = 100

100 = 4f-148

Add 148 to each side

100+148 = 4f-148+148

248 = 4f

Divide each side by 4

248/4 = 4f/4

62=f
