Answer: a = -3

Explanations:

The given equation is:

4\text{ - }\frac{3}{5}(3a+4)\text{ = 7}

This can be re-written as:

4-\frac{3(3a+4)}{5}=7

Collect like terms:

\begin{gathered} -\frac{3(3a+4)}{5}=\text{ 7 - 4} \\ -\frac{3(3a+4)}{5}=\text{ 3} \end{gathered}

Cross multiply:

\begin{gathered} -3(3a+4)\text{ = 3}\times5 \\ -3(3a+4)=\text{ 15} \\ \text{Expand the bracket} \\ -9a\text{ - 12 = 15} \\ \text{Collect like terms} \\ -9a\text{ = 15 + 12} \\ -9a\text{ = 27} \\ \text{Divide both sides by -9} \\ \frac{-9a}{-9}=\frac{27}{-9} \\ a\text{ = -3} \end{gathered}

To verify if the solution is correct, substitute a = -3 into the question given. If the Right Hand Side equals the Left Hand Side, then the solution is correct.

\begin{gathered} 4-\frac{3(3a+4)}{5}=\text{ 7} \\ \text{Substitute a = }-3 \\ 4\text{ - }\frac{3(3(-3)+4)}{5}\text{ = 7} \\ 4\text{ - }\frac{3(-9+4)}{5}\text{ = 7} \\ 4\text{ - }\frac{3(-5)}{5}\text{ = 7} \\ 4\text{ - }\frac{-15}{5}=\text{ 7} \\ 4-(-3)=7 \\ 4+3=7 \\ 7=7 \end{gathered}

Since the Left Hand Side = Right Hand Side = 7, the solution a = -3 is correct

Find the difference. (7x-6 2/3) - (-3x + 4 3/4)
NikAS [45]

10x-61/12 is the difference of  (7x-6\frac{2}{3}) - (-3x + 4\frac{3}{4}).

<h3>What is Expression?</h3>

An expression is combination of variables, numbers and operators.

The given expression is (7x-6\frac{2}{3}) - (-3x + 4\frac{3}{4})

7x-6\frac{2}{3}+3x- 4\frac{3}{4}

7x-20/3+3x-19/4

Add the variable terms and constant terms.

10x-20/3-19/4

The LCM of 3 and 4 is 12/

10x-4-57/12

10x-61/12

Hence, 10x-61/12 is the difference of  (7x-6\frac{2}{3}) - (-3x + 4\frac{3}{4}).
