1.05 is the answer Write an algebraic equation to solve a= ball b= bat a + b = 1.10 Write out the equation for the ball (a = b + 1) substitute the equation for the ball into the original equation (b + 1) + b = 1.10 simplify the equation 2b + 1 = 1.10 Solve the equation 2b + 1 = 1.10 -1. -1 ——————- 2b .1 /2 /2 = .05
Plug in your answer into the equation for the ball (a= b + 1) a= .05 + 1 1.05 is your answer
