How do you solve for L?

L=5B
L+7=3(B+7)

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: remember
a(b+c)=ab+ac
and you can do ANYTTHING to be
L=5B
divide both sides by 5
L/5=B
sub L/5 for B in other equation
L+7=3((L/5)+7)
distribute
L+7=(3L)/5+21
minus 7 both sides
L=(3L)/5+14
time boths sides by 5
5L=3L+70
minus 3L both sides
2L=70
divide 2
L=35

Answer 2
Answer: You first plug in 5B for L in the 2nd equation and you get 5B+7=3B+21 (distributive property). Then you simplify and you get B = 7. Then you plug 7 back in the first equation and get L = 35.

Answers

y = 3/2 t - 5/2 ; where t = 3

Substitute t by its value. the nearness of 3/2 to t denotes multiplication.

y = (3/2 *3) - 5/2

3 is a whole number. it is 3/1 in fraction form. 
In multiplying fractions, simply multiply the numerator and the denominator.

y = (3*3 / 2*1) - 5/2
y = 9/2 - 5/2

Subtracting fractions: We can only subtract or add fractions if they all have the same common denominator. Since both fractions have 2 as denominator, we can proceed to subtracting its numerators.

y = (9-5)/2      *subtract numerators and place over the common denominator
y = 4/2            * simplify the fraction.
y = 2/1 or 2
