Answer:

a= 1/2p-b

Step-by-step explanation:

p=2a+b

divide by 2 on both sides

1/2 p = a+b

subtract b from both sides

1/2 p - b = a

flip equation (not needed, just personal preference)

a= 1/2p-b

(Sorry if I didn't understand well enough and got it wrong)

Find the value of the variable and DF if D is between C and F if CD 4y -9, DF 2y-7, and CF 14.

CF = CD + DF (since D is simply a point on the line, and C to that point added onto F to that point is CF), so 4y-9+2y-7=14. Adding it up, we get 6y-16=14 and adding by 16 we get 30=6y. Dividing both sides by 6, we get y=5. Plugging that into DF, we get 10-7=DF=3
