Answer:
2a + 3b = 5
b = a - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2a + 3b = 5
b = a - 5
You can write this another way:
2a + 3(a-5) = 5 ( I added the second formula in the first one )
Now you gotta factor out:
2a + 3a - 15 = 5
Here im gonna do plus 15
2a + 3a = 20 ==> 5a = 20
Now if you divide by 5, you get: a = 4
Now you can fill in the second formula again
b = a - 5 (ill fill this in now)
b = 4 - 5 = -1
So, this makes:
a = 4 , b = -1
Answer:
3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Translating a segment does not change its length.
It is just moving the segment.
x/20 = 21/14 (similar proportions)
x/20 = 3/2 (simplify by canceling out a factor of 7)
x = 30
