So, difference as in subtract? so, if it is, it would be 15. if it means percent difference, it's about 60%.
Two equivalent fractions equations are
r + 6
6 + r <span />

Answer: D) One solution</h3>
==========================================
Work Shown:
2(b+3)-17 = 3b-7+b
2b+6-17 = 4b-7
2b-11 = 4b-7
-11+7 = 4b-2b
-4 = 2b
2b = -4
b = -4/2
b = -2
There is one solution and it is b = -2
A quick way to tell we have one solution is to note that both sides are a linear expression, and that the slopes of each linear expression are different values. If you had two lines with the same slope, then you'd have either parallel lines or coinciding lines (leading to no solutions and infinitely many solutions respectively). When you have two lines with two different slopes, then they are guaranteed to intersect only once. That intersection point is the solution.
Solve for x in first equation:
x-2y=7
Add “2y” to both sides
x=2y+7
Put this in to second equation:
3(2y+7)+2y=21
Solve for y:
Distribute the 3 into the ()
6y+21+2y=21
Combine the like y terms
8y+21=21
Subtract 21 from both sides
8y=0
Divide by 8 on both sides
y=0
Put this into the first solved equation:
x=2(0)+7
Solve for x:
Multiple 2(0)
x=0+7
Add 0 and 7
x=7
So the value of x is positive 7.
24 because the ratio is 5:8 and you have to multiply 5 by 3 to get 15
so you have to do the same thing to 8 and multiply it by 3 to get 24
