I believe the answer is....
For solving for a
a-7= 3(b+2) ———> distribute 3(b+2)
a-7= 3b+6 ———-> add 7 on both sides
a-7= 3b+6
a+7= 3b +7 ———-> the 7’s cancel out so you’re left with....
a = 3b + 13 (That’s your answer)
Hope that helped :3
The expression in company B represents that is is in arithmetic progression where first term is 42000 and common difference is 1800 . So we have to use the formula of sum of n terms which is

Where a is the first term, n is the nth term, d is the common difference
On substituting there values,we will get

= 15(84000+52200) = 15*136200 =2043000
And for company A, it is

Difference between them =2043000-2002500= 40500
So the correct option is the second option .
Answer: a = 1/6
Explanation: Convert the mixed number into an improper fractions. Which is 21/4.
Then you can do the butterfly method.
Check the picture below.
that means
angle AFB is 27 + 2 = 29
angle BFC is 2(27) + 12 = 66
and angle CFD is 2(27) or 54
so hmmmm, you'd know which one isn't there.
