Given the literal equation ab/a+b = c , with b = –1 + a, what is the value of c if a = 5?
a-20/9
b-25/9
c-4
d-11

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The given literal equation is

with b = ( a-1 )

We have to calculate the value of c when a = 5  

Now we put b = ( a - 1 ) in literal equation

Now we have to calculate the value of c when a = 5

Option A is the answer.

saving = more money

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
