Solve the equation 5( b+3) = b + 39

Distribute the 5 to both b and 3

5(b) = 5b
5(3) = 15

5b + 15 = b + 39

move all the b's to one side and the numbers to the other (do the opposite sign)

5b (-b) + 15 (-15) = b (-b) + 39 (-15)

5b (-b) = 39 (-15)

4b = 24

divide 4 from both sides

4b/4 = 24/4

b = 24/4

b = 6

6 is b, and is your answer

hope this helps

wariber [46]
Let x and y be the numbers of questions worth 5 and 2, respectively. There are a total of 29 questions which means that x + y should be 29. The equations that best describe the conditions are,
                                      x + y = 29
                                     5x + 2y = 100
Solving for x and y gives x = 14 and y = 15. Thus, there are 14 and 15 questions worth 5 and  2, respectively.
