Hi Kristian
a - 3b = 22
a = b - 2
We need to solve a = b -2 for a
First, we need to substitute b - 2 for a in a - 3b = 22
a - 3b = 22
b - 2 - 3b = 22
-2b - 2 = 22
-2b = 22 + 2
-2b = 24
b = 24/-2
b = -12
Now substitute -12 for b in a = b - 2
a = b -2
a= -12 - 2
a= -14
Thus, the solution is a = -14 and b = -12
The correct option is the last one (-14,-12)
If you have questions about my answer, please let me know.
Good luck!
Answer:
Bolt A will fit Nut A and Nut B
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following statements:
Nut C fits on Bolt C.
Nut B fits on Bolt B.
Nut A fits on Bolt A.
Bolt C is larger than Bolt B.
Bolt A and Bolt B are exactly the same.
Then we can say that Bolt A will fit Nut A and Nut B...
Answer:
Fraction of the original board left = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the board is = l feet
Marty saws off 
of a wooden board.
Length of the board left = l - 
= 
feet
He saws off 
of the remaining board,
Board left = ![(\frac{4}{5})l-[(\frac{4}{5})l\times (\frac{3}{4})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B5%7D%29l-%5B%28%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B5%7D%29l%5Ctimes%20%28%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7D%29%5D)
= 
= 
feet
He finally saws off 
rd of the remaining board.
Board left = ![\frac{1}{5}l-[\frac{1}{5}\times \frac{1}{3}]l](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B5%7Dl-%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B5%7D%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5Dl)
= 
= 
feet
Fraction of the original board left = 
=
7 3/4 - 2 2/5
(7-2)+(3/4-2/5)
5+7/20
5 and 7/20 or 5.35
