Ramon was solving an equation, but he didn't feel like doing any calculations, so his work looked kind of weird. Ms. Negin will show you his work. Do you think what he did was valid? Are his answers equivalent to the solutions you would get if you solved them? Explain.

a

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is a

there is no points to select.

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
