Remember
a(b+c)=ab+ac
and you can do ANYTTHING to be
L=5B
divide both sides by 5
L/5=B
sub L/5 for B in other equation
L+7=3((L/5)+7)
distribute
L+7=(3L)/5+21
minus 7 both sides
L=(3L)/5+14
time boths sides by 5
5L=3L+70
minus 3L both sides
2L=70
divide 2
L=35

You first plug in 5B for L in the 2nd equation and you get 5B+7=3B+21 (distributive property). Then you simplify and you get B = 7. Then you plug 7 back in the first equation and get L = 35.

Hello everyone, i am very confused by this question:

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Read the explanation down

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear equation, because the equation does not have any exponents. Graph it by putting the equation into either slope-intercept form y=mx+b or point-slope form y−y1=m(x−x1).

Isolate y by first adding 6x to each side:

9y=6x−18

Divide each side by 9:

y=23x−2

Now graph the line y=23x−2 by first plotting the y intercept at (0,−2), then connecting points with a slope of 23.

Un auto viaja con una velocidad promedio de 84 kilómetros por hora. ¿En cuánto tiempo viaja 462 kilómetros?

timama [110]

The car takes the time 5.5 hours i.e.5 hours and 30 minutes to travel 462 kilometres when the car travels at average speed of 84 kilometres per hour

Given the average speed of the car is 84 kilometres per hour and the distance to be travelled is 462 kilometres and asked to find the time taken for the journey of 462 kilometres

To calculate the time taken for the journey we use the below-mentioned formula

$speed=\frac{distance}{Time taken}$
