Answer:
7b = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that:
5a + 2b = 0
a is two less than b
So a = b - 2.
Replacing in the above equation:
[tex]5a + 2b = 0[/tex]
[tex]5(b - 2) + 2b = 0[/tex]
[tex]5b - 10 + 2b = 0[/tex]
[tex]7b = 10[/tex]
[tex]b = \frac{10}{7}[/tex]
7b
[tex]7b = 7\frac{10}{7} = \frac{70}{7} = 10[/tex]
7b = 10
