A/2-b/3=1 solve for a, add b/3 to both sides
a/2=1+b/3 which is equal to
a/2=(3+b)/3 multiply both sides by 2
a=(6+2b)/3 now you can substitute this into 2a+3b giving you:
2(6+2b)/3 + 3b which is equal to
(12+4b+9b)/3
(13b+12)/3
Answer:
Its upside down.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of weeks; therefore, the two linear equations are

Where T stands for the punches on the tea punch card and C for the punches on the coffee punch card.
Solving by substitution. Set T=C, then

Thus, substitute the value of x=3 into the first equation,

Thus, after 3 weeks, Josiah will have the same number of punches on each card, and he will have 23 punches on each card.
Solution for x+4=10 equation:
1x + 4 = 10
1x = 10 - 4
1x = 6 (divide both sides by 1 to get x)
1x/1 = 6/1
x = 6
