( PLEASE HELP ASAP, 70 POINTS )

If 5a + b = a + 5 , what is in terms of a?

A . 6a + 5
B . 4a + 5
C. 5 - 4a
D. 5 - 6a

Answer 1

The question in the other word means solve b interms of X . So

5a + b = a + 5 ...... Given

5a + b -5a = a + 5 - 5a ..... subtracting 5a from both

side

b = 5 - 4a .......... simplify

So we get the result 5 - 4a it is found in choice C .

Answer 2

C. 5-4a

Explanation:

To solve for b in terms of a, we can start by subtracting a on both sides of the equation.

This gives us:

5a + b - a = a + 5 - a

4a + b = 5

Then, we can subtract 4a from both sides of the equation. This gives us:

4a + b -4a = 5 -4a

b=5 - 4a

Therefore the answer is C. 5-4a
