Solve 50a+60b=700

$$50 a + 60 b = 700$$

Solve for a

$$a=-\frac{6b}{5}+14$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 60b from both sides.

$$50a=700-60b$$

Divide both sides by 50.

$$\frac{50a}{50}=\frac{700-60b}{50}$$

Dividing by 50 undoes the multiplication by 50.

$$a=\frac{700-60b}{50}$$

Divide 700-60b by 50.

$$a=-\frac{6b}{5}+14$$

Solve for b

$$b=-\frac{5a}{6}+\frac{35}{3}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 50a from both sides.

$$60b=700-50a$$

Divide both sides by 60.

$$\frac{60b}{60}=\frac{700-50a}{60}$$

Dividing by 60 undoes the multiplication by 60.

$$b=\frac{700-50a}{60}$$

Divide 700-50a by 60.

$$b=-\frac{5a}{6}+\frac{35}{3}$$
