We can solve the above question as
5b-4=2b+17
5b-2b=17+4                                      (taking like terms together)
3b=21
b=21/3
b=7
Hence the value of b is 7

a soccer team won 6 games out 10 total game if they played 25 total games how many games did they win
Lana71 [14]
Okay, so if with 10 games, they win 6, they would win 12 with 20. To find the 5, you would find half of 6 (since half of 10 is 5). Half of 6 is three. 3 plus 12 is 15. They would win 15 games.

Solve each equation for the given variable a-2b=-10 for b
Ymorist [56]
A-2b=-10
add 2b on both sides
a=2b-10
add 10 to both sides
a+10=2b
divide both sides by 2
a/2+10/2=a/2+5=b
b=5+a/2
