15-b=4b-5(5-3)
Multiply the bracket by -5
(-5)(5)=-25
(-5)(-3)=15
15-b=4b-25+15
15-b=4b-10
Move 15 to the other side
Sign changes from +15 to -15
15-15-b=4b-10-15
-b=4b-25
Move 4b to the other side.
-b-4b=4b-4b-25
-b-4b=-25
-5b=-25
divide both sides by -5
-5b/-5=-25/-5
Answer: b=5

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) set up the variables
Let x represent the first number Then y will represent the second number.
b) What is the equation that represents the above situation?
c) Solve the equation.
<u>Substitute x in the second equation and solve for y:</u>
- x + y = 51
- 2y + y = 51
- 3y = 51
- y = 51/3
- y = 17
<u>Then find x</u>
We have been given an expression
. We are asked to find the solution to our given expression expressed as scientific notation.
Let us simplify our given expression.
Using exponent property
, we will get:



Now to write our answer in scientific notation, we need our 1st multiple between 1 and 10. So we will rewrite our expression as:



Therefore, our required solution would be
.
