Answer:
b = a + 3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 4b - 15
You are solving for b. Isolate the b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, add 15 to both sides
a (+15) = 4b - 15 (+15)
a + 15 = 4b
Next, divide 4 from both sides. Remember to divide from all terms.
(4a + 15)/4 = (4b)/4
b = (4a)/4 + (15)/4
b = a + 15/4
b = a + 3.75 is your answer

Let's translate each sentence into "Math".
Pineapple = p
Orange = x
is means equal
Pineapple is 7 times as heavy as an orange: p = 7x
Pineapple weighs 870 grams more than orange. p = 870 + x
Substitute p = 7x into the second equation:
7x = 870 + x
Subtract x from both sides
6x = 870
divide by 6
x = 145
The orange weighs 145 grams.
The pineapple weights 7 times the orange = 7(145) = 1015 grams.
