A set of equations is given below:

Equation A: a = 5b + 1
Equation B: a = 3b + 5

Which of the following is a step that can be used to find the solution to the set of equations?

Respuesta :

Using elimination or substitution then finding a and b.

a= 5b + 1 : a = 5b + 1(3) : a = 15b + 3
a= 3b + 5 : a = 3b + 5(-5) : a = -15b -25
                                           2a = -22
                                           a = -11
