71 - 23 = 48 is the answer
Answer:
b = 33.546.
Step-by-step explanation:
a + b + c = 77 (1)
a - 5 = b + 5 (2)
a = 5c (3)
from equation 2:
a - b = 10
Adding this equation to equation 1:
2a + c = 87
But a = 5c so
10c + c = 87
c = 87/11 = 7.909
and a = 5*7.909 = 35.545.
b = 77 - 7.909 - 35.545
= 33.546
