Answer:

3(1+7a+5b)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive law states that

a\cdot (b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c.

The expression 3+21a+15b consists of three terms:

  1. 3=3·1;
  2. 21a=3·7a;
  3. 15b=3·5b.

You can see that 3 is the common factor of these three terms, thus

3+21a+15b=3(1+7a+5b).

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

3x - y = 0; 2x - y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the present age of Hans and y be the present age of Grace,

Since, in present Grace is three times as old as Hans,

⇒ y = 3x

⇒ 3x - y = 0

Now, after 5 years,

The age of Hans = x + 5,

And, the age of Grace = y + 5

Also, in 5 years Grace will be twice as old as Hans is then,

⇒ y + 5 = 2 ( x + 5 )

⇒ y + 5 = 2x + 10

⇒ 2x - y = -5

Hence, the required system of linear equations is,

3x - y = 0; 2x - y = -5

I’m pretty sure it’s 86, because you need to subtract 2 from the first side then you have 86 = X
