Answer:

  2 small; 3 large

Step-by-step explanation:

Using s and L for the number of small and large cars, respectively, we have ...

  5s +8L = 34 . . . . number of passengers

  s + L = 5 . . . . . . . number of cars

  5s +8(5 -s) = 34 . . . . substitute for L

  -3s +40 = 34

  -3s = -6 . . . . . . subtract 40

  s = 2 . . . . . . . . divide by -2

  L = 5-2 = 3

2 small cars and 3 large cars were rented.

What is the value of b in the equation 3b + 2(b - 1) =8
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of b, we have to isolate b on one side of equation first

So,

3b+2(b-1)=8

Multiplying 2 with b-1

3b+2b-2=8\\5b-2=8

Adding 2 on both sides

5b-2+2=8+2\\5b=10

Dividing by 5 on both sides

\frac{5b}{5}=\frac{10}{5} \\b=2

So the value of b is 2 ..

Find two consecutive odd integers such that seven times the first equals five times the second.
fredd [130]

Answer:

Odd integers are always one more that an even integer:

1st: 2n+1

2nd: 2n+3

Step-by-step explanation:

14n+7 = 10n+15

4n = 8

n = 2

------------

1st: 2n+1 = 5

2nd: 2n+3 = 7

7x=5*(x+2)

7x=5x+10

7x-5x=10

2x=10

x=5
