\frac{6 - 1}{ - 2 - a}  =  \frac{9 - 1}{ - 12 - a - 2}  \\  \frac{5}{ - 2 - a}  =  \frac{8}{ - 14 - a}  \\ 16 + 8a = 70 + 5a \\ 3a = 54 >  > a = 18

Answer:

c. 2b - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-2 b + 4 + 4 b - 7

Grouping like terms, -2 b + 4 + 4 b - 7 = (4 b - 2 b) + (4 - 7):

4 b - 2 b = 2 b:

2 b + (4 - 7)

4 - 7 = -3:
