Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this with some pretty simple substitution

First write that a=2b+8

and our reasoning for this is that we added 2b from the first equation

Then write

4(2b+8)+3b=21

After we figured out what A was in the previous part we are able to substitute that into our other equation

Then you solve for b from here

8b+32+3b=21

11b=-11

b= -1

Select all statements that show correct reasoning for finding LaTeX: 15\div\frac{2}{9}15 ÷ 2 9.

Basile [38]

Answer:

Multiply 15 by 9, then divide by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: LaTeX: 15\div\frac{2}{9}.

First lets write in a simple form

$15\div\frac{2}{9}$

Now, simplifying by inversing the fraction

∵To divide fractions take the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply the dividend.

∴ $15\times \frac{9}{2}$

∴ Multiply 15 by 9, then divide by 2.
