<span>3b + 2(b − 1) = 8
3b + 2b - 2 = 8
5b = 10
b = 2

answer b = 2</span>

So to start out the equation, you would have to distribute the 2 to the numbers and letters in the parenthesis. This should get me to:3b+2b-2=8. Add 2 on both sides of the equation and add up like terms. Now the equation looks like this: 5b=10. Now divide 5 to both sides which should give you b. b=2 I hope this helps you!

HELP ME!!! I WILL MARK AS BRAINLY

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see from the two marked points the coordinates are: (2, 8) and (4, 16)

That means the rise (vertical change) is 16 - 8 = 8 units. And the run (horizontal change) is (4 - 2) = 2 units.

Therefore slope = rise/run = 8/2 = 4.

There are three different cubes such that the first cube is 64 times the volume of the second, and the volume of the second cube

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio between the volumes of the first and the second cube is 64, the ratio between the sides is the cubic root of the ratio between the volumes, so:

$V1 / V2 = 64$

$s1 / s2 = \sqrt[3]{64} = 4$

Doing the same for the second and third cubes, we have:

$V2 / V3 = 1/27$

$s2/ s3 = \sqrt[3]{1/27} = 1/3$

So the ratio of the first cube side and the third cube side is:

$s1 / s3 = (s1/s2) * (s2/s3) = 4 * (1/3) = 4/3$
