Question

If 3a-2b=8 and a+3b what is the value of 4a+ b

a. -13
b. - 11
c. 15
d. 1
e. 9

Answer 1

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you can use the given equations:

1. 3a - 2b = 8

2. a + 3b = ? (It seems part of the equation is missing)

You need to find the value of 4a + b.

First, let's solve for "a" and "b" using the two equations. You can do this by adding or subtracting the equations to eliminate one of the variables:

Adding the two equations:

(3a - 2b) + (a + 3b) = 8 + ?

Combine like terms:

4a + b = 8 + ?

Now, we need to know the value of a + 3b to complete the equation. Without that value, we can't determine the exact value of 4a + b. So, please provide the missing part of the second equation (a + 3b) to proceed with the calculation.
