Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

3 a + b = 54

Given that b=9

We substitute b as 9 into the equation;   3 a + 9 = 54

                                                                   3 a = 54 - 9

                                                                   3 a = 45

Then, divide each side by 3 to get the value of a; 3 a /3 = 45 / 3

                                                                                   a = 45 / 3

                                                                                   a = 15

At the beginning of the bake sale merry set aside two pies for herself Kate bought half of the remaining pies for a birthday par
nirvana33 [79]
So.. .at the beginning of the sale, there was a total of "x" pies

now, let's see what happened to those pies
\bf \begin{array}{lrlll}
&pies\\\\
&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\\

Mary&x-2\\\\
Kate&\cfrac{x-2}{2}\\\\
\textit{pies sold}&10\\\\
\textit{pies leftover}&14
\end{array}

so, we had "x"
then Mary took 2, she left x - 2
Kate took half of that (x-2)/2
then 10 were sold, and 14 leftover

if we subtract all those figures, and solve for "x",
we should get what "x" was, so \bf (x-2)-\left( \cfrac{x-2}{2} \right)-10-14=0

notice, if we subtract what Mary took, and Kate, and the sold and leftover, from the original "x", we would end up with no pies :)

so.. just solve for "x"
