Answer:
it is . what it is lol
Step-by-step explanation:
I am almost positive the answer is B
Short answer: C
Remark
Since b is all by itself in equation 2, Substitute it into equation 1.
2a + 3b = 5
b = a - 5 Put this result in equation 1. Be sure and use brackets.
2a + 3(a - 5) = 5 Remove the brackets.
2a + 3a - 15 = 5 Notice the -5 inside the brackets becomes - 15
Combine like terms on the left.
5a - 15 = 5 Add 15 to both sides
5a = 5 + 15
5a = 20 Divide by 5
a = 20/5
a = 4
So far, c is the only possible answer.
b = a - 5
b = 4 - 5
b = - 1
This situation can be represented by
y = 33x + 223
y = 32x + 239
I still like substitution, so let’s plug in 33x + 223 into the second equation
33x + 223 = 32x + 239
Move the terms into appropriate sides
33x - 32x = 239 - 223
Combine like terms
x = 16
Then plug in x for any equation
y = 32(16) + 239
y = 751
Erin will have to swim 16 laps for a total of 751 meters
You got the top part right, but you are missing the bottom it would actually be -56/5 or -56 over 5.
