Answer:

b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute 2 to all terms within the parenthesis

2(3b - 1) = 6b - 2

2(3b) = 6b

2(-1) = -2

6b - 2 = 40

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

First, add 2 to both sides

6b - 2 (+2) = 40 (+2)

6b = 40 + 2

6b = 42

Isolate the b. Divide 6 from both sides

(6b)/6 = (42)/6

b = 42/6

b = 7

7 is your answer for b.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Check: Plug in 7 for b

2(3(7) - 1) = 40

First, solve the parenthesis. Multiply

3 x 7 = 21

Subtract. Complete the parenthesis

21 - 1 = 20

Multiply

2(20) = 40

Answer:

b=7

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3b-1)= 40

divide both sides by 2

3b-1 = 20

then add 1 to each side

3b = 21

then divide both sides by 3

b = 7

then check 2(3*7-1) = 40

Examine the system of equations. y = –3x – 2, y = 7 The value of x is . The solution to this system of equations is .
joja [24]
Hello!

You can substitute y into the other equation

7 = -3x - 2

Add 2 to both sides

9 = -3x

Divide both sides by -3

-3 = x

The answer is -3

Hope this helps!

A store sells​ tents, sleeping​ bags, and camp stools. A customer buys a​ tent, 3 sleeping​ bags, and 4 camp stools for ​$170. T
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: the cost of a tent is $45

the cost of a sleeping bag is $35

the cost of a camp stool is $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of a tent.

Let y represent the cost of a sleeping bag.

Let z represent the cost of a camp stool.

A customer buys a​ tent, 3 sleeping​ bags, and 4 camp stools for ​$170. It means that

x + 3y + 4z = 170- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The price of the tent is 9 times the cost of a camp stool. It means that

x = 9z

The cost of a sleeping bag is ​$30 more than the cost of a camp stool. It means that

y = z + 30

Substituting x = 9z and y = z + 30 into equation 1, it becomes

9z + 3(z + 30) + 4z = 170

9z + 3z + 90 + 4z = 170

9z + 3z + 4z = 170 - 90

16z = 80

z = 80/16

z = 5

y = z + 30 = 5 + 30

y = 35

x = 9z = 9 × 5

x = 45

The width of a rectangle measures (3.1s – 1.6) centimeters, and its length
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Expression for perimeter of rectangle is:

\bold{Perimeter = (20.6s-12.4)\ centimeters}

Step-by-step explanation:

Width of rectangle is given as ( 3.1 s - 1.6 ) centimeters and

length  of the rectangle is given as (7.2s - 4.6) centimeters.

To find:

The expression to represent the perimeter of rectangle in centimeters.

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the formula to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle.

Perimeter of a polygon is equal to sum of all the sides.

In rectangle, we have a total of 4 sides, 2 sides equal to the width and 2 sides are equal to the length of rectangle.

Therefore, perimeter of a rectangle is equal to twice the sum of width and length of the rectangle.

So, formula:

Perimeter = 2(l+w)

Where l is the length of rectangle and

w is the width of rectangle.

Putting the values of length and width as given in the question statement to find its perimeter:

Perimeter = 2((3.1s-1.6) +(7.2s-4.6))\\\Rightarrow Perimeter = 2(10.3s-6.2)\\\Rightarrow \bold{Perimeter = (20.6s-12.4)\ centimeters}
