b). 14

use the picture above

Answer 2

a) 25

b) 14

Explanation:

Subtract 3 on both sides.

a/5 + 3 - 3 = 8 - 3

a/5 = 5

Multiply 5 on both sides.

a/5(5) = 5(5)

a = 25

Add 1 on both sides.

(3b)/7- 1 + 1 = 5 + 1

(3b)/7 = 6

Multiply both sides by 7.

(3b)/7 (7) = 6(7)

3b = 42

Divide both sides by 3.

(3b)/3 = 42/3

b = 14
