What is the value of a in the equation 3a+b=54, if b=9?
[tex]\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{B. This problem has been solved!}}[/tex]
Put in 9 for b.
[tex]\bf{3a+9=54}[/tex] | subtract 9 on both sides
[tex]\bf{3a=45}[/tex] | divide the entire equation by 3
[tex]\bf{a=15}[/tex]
[tex]\cline{1-2}[/tex]
[tex]\bf{Result:}[/tex]
[tex]\bf{\bigcirc 15}[/tex]

Answer:
a = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
3a + b = 54 ← substitute b = 9
3a + 9 = 54 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
3a = 45 ( divide both sides by 3 )
a = 15
