Algebra.Com's Answer #463859 by Stitch(470)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Equation 1: \n" ); document.write( "Equation 2: \n" ); document.write( "---------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Solve one of the equations for one of the variables. \n" ); document.write( "I will solve equation 2 for A by dividing both sides by 5. \n" ); document.write( "Equation 2: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now plug (4/5)B into equation 1 for A. \n" ); document.write( "Equation 1: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "B by itself can also be written as 1B or (5/5)B. They are all equal. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 5/9 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now solve for A. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
