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
There are many ways, but here is one:
x = 100
Since ‘x’ is 100 and we want 100 more, we just need to add ‘x’ to 623
Answer: x + 623 (Make sure you define your ‘x’ value)
Answer: x = 7
`Step-by-step explanation:
Because the figure shows two triangles that are similar. we can write and solve an equation of ratios:
9 cm 72 cm
----------- = -----------
3x - 20 56 cm
Cross-multiplying, we get (3x - 20)(72 cm) = (9 cm)(56 cm) = 504 cm²
Dividing both sides by 72 cm, we get:
3x - 20 = (504 cm²) / (72 cm) = 7
Then 3x - 20 = 7, and 3x = 27. Then x must be 9.
The awnser is 52 because it’s going up by prime numbers
