Answer:
3A = 3(1 1/2) = 4 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2A + 4B = 5
A = 3B
2(3B) + 4B = 5 [substitute the A for the 3B]
10B = 5 so B = 1/2 [now plug the info in]
2A + 4(1/2) = 5
2A + 2 = 5 [subtract 2 from both sides of the equation]
2A = 3 [divide by 2 to isolate A]
A = 3/2 [now plug in the answers to check your work]
2(3/2) + 4(1/2) = 5
6/2 + 4/2 = 3 + 2 = 5
