In this question, you're solving for a.
Solve for a:
-8(1 - a) =-7 -(1 - 3a)
<em>use the distributive property</em>
-8 + 8a = -7 -(1 - 3a)
-8 + 8a = -7 - 1 + 3a
<em>combine like terms</em>
-8 + 8a = -8 + 3a
<em>subtract 3a from both sides</em>
-8 + 5a = -8
<em>add 8 to both sides</em>
5a = 0
<em>divide both sides by 5</em>
a = 0
it is none since there is no relation
Since x = -9, you substitue the X for -9.
your equation would then be y = |-9| +1
|x| is absolute vale and makes everything inside positive.
so really it is y = 9+1
y = 10
Subtract 5r from both sides
2p= q-5r
Divide both sides by 2
p= (q-5r)/2
