GIVEN a = (2 -3) and b = (1 -5 ) find 3a - b

3a - b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a = (2-3)

b = (1-5)

Substitute the values of a and b to the 3a-b.

3(2-3) - (1-5)

6-9 - (-4)

6 - 9 + 4

-3 + 4

= 1

Therefore, 1 is the answer.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
