Isolating the variable 'a' in the expression, we have:

So the correct option is B.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If we take out the extra $3, we can group the bills into one each of $5 and $1, for a value of $6. There will be 7 such groups in the remaining $42.
That means there are 7 bills of the $5 denomination, and 3 more than that (10 bills) of the $1 denomination.
There are 7 $5 bills and 10 $1 bills.
_____
If you want to write an equation, it is usually best to let a variable stand for the most-valuable contributor. Here, we can let x represent then number of $5 bills. Then the value of the cash box is ...
5x +(x+3) = 45
6x = 42 . . . . . . . . subtract 3, collect terms
x = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . there are 7 $5 bills
x+3 = 10 . . . . . . . . there are 10 $1 bills
You may notice that this working parallels the verbal description above. (After we subtract $3, x is the number of $6 groups.)
Answer:
x= -8
Explain:
You first have to make the variable by itself so you subtract 3 on both sides. The x is by itself and you finish by subtracting -5 to 3 and you get the answer x = -8
Hope this helps

<h3>What is Unitary Method?</h3>
Unitary method is a process by which we find the value of a single unit from the value of multiple units and the value of multiple units from the value of a single unit.
Sue spent 1 hour 19 minutes less than Jared
Lucas spent 45 minutes less than Pete.
Pete spent 3 hours reading.
Since, pete spent 3 hours. So, Jared spent
= 3 hours or (180 minutes) - 45 minutes
= 2 hours 15 minutes.
Now, Seu spent = 2 hrs 15 minutes - 1 hour 19 minutes
= 56 minutes
