Answer: The statement is equating
5b+1=3b+4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation 1 : a=5b+1
equation 2 : a=3b+4
Now since LHS of both the equations is the same
so RHS is also going to be same
i.e. 5b+1=3b+4
5b-3b=4-1
2b=3
b=[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Now a=[tex]5(\frac{3}{2})+1[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{15}{2} +1[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{17}{2}[/tex]
