3A + 9 = 54
Subtract 9 from both sides

Answer:
A=15

Explanation:

You have the following equation:


3A + B = 54

In order to find the the value of the variable "A" when
B=9, you need to substitute this value of "B" into the equation and then you must solve for "A".

Applying this procedure, you get:


3A + B = 54\\\\ 3A + 9 = 54\\\\3A=54-9\\\\3A=45\\\\A=(45)/(3)\\\\A=15
