A - 3b = 4 . . . . (1)
a = b - 2 . . . . . (2)
Putting (2) into (1), we have
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2b = 4 + 2 = 6
b = 6/-2 = -3
From (1), a = b - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5
Hence, solution = (-5, -3)
the answer is B...i swear its B
Answer:
Eight less than four times a number is equal to two times the difference of double that same number decreased by three.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is:
4x−8=2(2x−3)
We will try to translate the given equation in English.
We can see that the variable used is only one. On the left hand side of the equation 8 is being subtracted from 4 times of the variable and on the right hand side 3 is being subtracted from 2 times of variable and then being multiplied by two.
From the given option, correct answer is:
Eight less than four times a number is equal to two times the difference of double that same number decreased by three.

Here is a useful link to the correct steps. The instructions may not be exactly the same but I think you can do it.
You can use models to help you divide by making the number of models as your divisor. For example let's say I am dividing 8 ÷ 2. So you would make 8 circles (doesn't have to be circle it can be whatever like squares) and then make groups of 2 until you run out of circles. Then how many groups there are is your answer. 8÷2=4. Hope I helped!
