L+S = 17 3L + 2S=46
Please show your work

S= 5, L= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of L and S, we need to first label the 2 equations.

L +S= 17 (1)

3L +2S= 46 (2)

From (1):

L= 17 -S (3) (-S on both sides)

Subst. (3) into (2):

3(17-S) +2S= 46

3(17) -3S +2S= 46 (expand)

51 -S= 46

-S= 46 -51 (-51 on both sides)

-S= -5

S= 5(divide by -1 throughout)

Subst. S=5 into (3):

L= 17 -5

L= 12

what are you doing do you need examples of variable questions?

step-by-step explanation:

5a-1=9               bring the one over the =

5a=10                     divide by your variable

a=2

brainliest? ?

here try this one

3a-24=0

b.   e = 7.5h

hope this , lovely!
