Question

I SHALL NAME THEE BRAINLIEST!! (: Pls help me. (#1) 4A - 1 = 3A + 8 solve and check (#2) 1 + F + 3 + F = F + 5 solve and check (#3) Naomi had B bushels of grain. After Ruth brought her 5 more bushels of grain, she had 11 bushels in all. How much grain did Naomi have to start with? Write an equation and solve.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. a=9     2. f=1    3. b=6

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) 4a-1=3a+8

subtract 3a from both sides

a-1+8

add 1 to both sides

a=9

2.) 1+f+3+f=f+5

combine like terms that are on the same side

2f+4=f+5

subtract f from both sides

f+4=5

subtract 4 from both sides

f=1

3.) construct a equation

b+5=11

subtract 5 from both sides

b=6
