What is the value of a in the equation 3a + b = 54, when b = 9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, we plug in 9: 3a + b = 54 3a + 9 = 54 Now we have to get rid of '9' so we subtract it to both sides, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so we have: 3a = 45 Now divide 3 to both sides.
