Question

We have that 2a+1=1 and b-a=1. What is the value of b?

Answer 1

Equation: 2a+1=1

Subtract 1 from both sides: 2a=0

Divide by 2: a=0

Equation: b-a=1

Substitute: b-0=1

Combine: b=1

So, b=1.

Let me know if this helps.

Answer 2

b=1

Explanation:

2a+1 =1

Subtract 1 from each side

2a+1-1 = 1-1

2a=0

a=0

Now find b from the second equation

b-a =1

b-0=1

b=1
