Question 884052: 5a+3b=11
-2a+3=b
What is the value of b for the solution

Answer by cigany29(23)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are told that b=-2a+3
f(x)=5a+3b=11
g(x)=-2a+3

So in your first equation, substitute -2a+3 for b.







Now sub your found value of a into the equation to find b.




You can check this by substituting your values for a and b back into your first equation
