MathBot Answer:

Assuming BB and bb are referring to the same variable.

Assuming AA and aa are referring to the same variable.


The system of linear equations has exactly one solution.

The substitutions are a=20 a = 20 , b=5 b = 5 .

A+B+C=C+25A + B + C = C + 25


Solve a+b=25a + b = 25 for aa. a=25ba = 25 - b

Substitute 25b25 - b for aa in ab=15a - b = 15 and simplify. ab=15(25b)b=15b=5\begin{aligned}a - b &= 15 \\ \left(25 - b\right) - b &= 15 \\ b &= 5 \end{aligned}

Use substitution of the numerical value of bb to get the values of aa. a=25ba=255a=20\begin{aligned}a &= 25 - b \\ a &= 25 - 5 \\ a &= 20\end{aligned}

By substituting these values into the expression, we find that:A+B+C=C+5+20=C+25\begin{aligned} A + B + C &= C + 5 + 20\\ &=C + 25\end{aligned}
