Answer:

3A = 3(1 1/2) = 4 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2A + 4B = 5

A = 3B

2(3B) + 4B = 5 [substitute the A for the 3B]

10B = 5 so B = 1/2 [now plug the info in]

2A + 4(1/2) = 5

2A + 2 = 5 [subtract 2 from both sides of the equation]

2A = 3  [divide by 2 to isolate A]

A = 3/2  [now plug in the answers to check your work]

2(3/2) + 4(1/2) = 5

6/2 + 4/2 = 3 + 2 = 5
