Answer: A = 4, B = -1

Step-by-step explanation: First, you write the equation out and substitute in a - 5 for b. Then you distribute the 3 to the a and the -5 to get "2a + 3a - 15". Then you add the 15 to both sides, and add the 2a and the 3a to get "5a = 20" Then you multiply by 5 to get a = 4. And if you're trying to find b you just do 4 - 5 to get -1.
