Answer:
73
Step-by-step explanation:
3a + 5b + 2c = ?
Given:
a + b = 15
b + c = 14
now express in terms of b
a = 15 - b equation (i)
c = 14 - b equation (ii)
3a + 5b + 2c
substitute the values
3(15 - b) + 5b + 2(14 - b)
45 - 3b + 5b + 28 - 2b
add or subtract like terms
73 + 5b - 5b
plus 5b and minus 5b gets cancel
