3a + b = 54
Substitute b for 9
3a + 9 = 54
Subtract 9 to both sides
3a = 45
Divide 3 to both sides
a = 15
i think its b
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's deconstruct the equation.
K x (1/8) = 7
You want to isolate K, so you multiply by 8 for both sides (since 8 x 1/8 = 1)
So, K = 7 x 8
K=56
The constant term in the equation is -20 because you will always be subtracting 20 no matter how big x is
25 feet above sea level means she travelled 25 feet to the surface of the sea. She would have to descend (37-25=12) 12 more feet to achieve 37 total feet of travel, so she descended 12 feet below sea level.
