Hi Kristian
a - 3b = 22
a = b - 2
We need to solve a = b -2 for a
First, we need to substitute b - 2 for a in a - 3b = 22
a - 3b = 22
b - 2 - 3b = 22
-2b - 2 = 22
-2b = 22 + 2
-2b = 24
b = 24/-2
b = -12
Now substitute -12 for b in a = b - 2
a = b -2
a= -12 - 2
a= -14
Thus, the solution is a = -14 and b = -12
The correct option is the last one (-14,-12)
If you have questions about my answer, please let me know.
Good luck!
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be modeled using the equation 3x+4=52 (x is the purple marbles). To solve this equation subtract 4 from both sides, making it 3x=48. divide both by three showing x=16. This shows that 16 is the answer.
Answer:
x = 31 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
180 - 149 = 31

Answer:
$3.90
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost was $24.40.
We know the cost for beads for each necklace is also $2.20, multiply this by four to find the cost of the beads for all the necklaces.
$2.20 × 4 = $8.80
Now we will subtract this from the total price.
$24.40 - $8.80 = $15.60
$15.60 Is the remaining cost for the pendants of all four necklaces. We will now divide this by four to find the price of a single pendant.
$15.60 ÷ 4 = $3.90
<u>This means the cost of each pendant is $3.90</u>
If $.72 per 1lb, then $x per 2.7lb, by using proportional property:
.72/1 = x/2.7 cross multiply
x = (.72)*(2.7) = $1.94
