5a - 10b = 45 when b = 3, then

5a - (10*3) =45
5a - 30 = 45
5a = 45+ 30
5a = 75
a = 75/5
a =15

Well, since you have the value of b, the first thing you want to do is substitute that value in for b.

5a - 10(3) = 45

10*3 = 30

5a - 30 = 45

Now, to get the variable by itself (a) you have to + 30 because you have to reverse the subtraction.

5a = 75

Now, you divide by 5 to finish getting a by itself.

a = 15

Hope this helps!

The ratio of length to width would change slightly, before adding on to the dimensions, the ratio is 6 : 2.5 with the added dimensions, the ratio would change to 8 : 4.5 with simple math you can see that 2.5 is less then half of 6 while 4.5 is more then half of 8
