Answer:
a = 3/2 b
When we simplify 3/2, we get 1.5
a = 1.5b
Explanation:
The given equation 7a - 2b = 5a + b
Isolate the variables.
Subtract 5a from both sides, we get
7a - 5a - 2b = 5a - 5a + b
2a - 2b = b
Now add 2b from both sides, we get
2a - 2b + 2b = b + 2b
2a = 3b
Dividing both sides by 2, we get
a = 3/2 b
Hope this will helpful.
