Answer:

a = b/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the LCD in this equation is 6. Rewriting 2a-b/6 = b/3 using this LCD, we get:

2a-b/6 = 2b/6

Multiplying all three terms by 6 eliminates the fractions:

12a - b = 2b

Combining like terms:

12a = 3b

Solving this for a, we get a = ------------ = b/4

a = b/4

I am thinking of a number. i will add four and then multiply it by five. the answer will be thirty five. whats the number?

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

B. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make an equation for this. Our unknown number is x.

We are adding 4.

x + 4

Then multiplying by 5.

(x + 4) • 5

It will equal 35.

(x + 4) • 5 = 35

To solve this, divide both sides by 5.

(x + 4) = 7

Now subtract 4 from both sides.

x = 3

This is your answer.

Check this by plugging it back into our original equation.

(x + 4) • 5 = 35

(3 + 4) • 5 = 35

7 • 5 = 35

35 = 35

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!
