Hello!
In a really simple way, 3 times our answer is 19. We can just divide to find it.
19/3= 6 1/3
Anyway, it might be nice to solve the equation for b. If a=6, then b has to be 1/3, but let's check.
18+3b=19
3b=1
b=1/3
Therefore, a+b= 6 1/3
I hope this helps!
Answer : 140
140 times 40% = 65 so the answer is 140
"In Grade 2 and early in Grade 3, students learned to use bar models to solve two-step problems involving addition and subtraction. This is extended in this chapter to include multiplication and division.
<span>Both multiplication and division are based on the concept of equal groups, or the part-part-whole concept, where each equal group is one part of the whole. In Grade 2, students showed this with one long bar (the whole) divided up into equal-sized parts, or units. This unitary bar model represents situations such as basket of apples being grouped equally into bags." </span>https://www.sophia.org/tutorials/math-in-focus-chapter-9-bar-modeling-with-multipli
