Question

If a-b=8 and b/8 =2 what is the value of a+b?

Answer 1

a = 24

b = 16

Explanation:

b/8 = 2

b = 8*2

b = 16

a - b = 8

a - 16 = 8

a = 8+16

a = 24

check that it's right:

a-b = 8

24-16 = 8

8=8

b/8 = 2

16/8 = 2

2 = 2

so our answers are correct.

have a good day!

a=24

b=16

a-b=8
