a

Answer 3

in terms of b?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

ok, so we want to get everything around the a out the way:

b= 4a-17-2b

get rid of the 2b,
3b = 4a -17

get rid of the 17,
3b+17=4a

now divide both sides by 4
(4b+17)/4 = a

Answer 6

b = 4a - 17 - 2b
b + 17 + 2b = 4a
3b + 17 = 4a
(3b + 17)/4 = a
