Please help!!! Solve for A (equation in picture)

Mathematics

To solve this equation, you first need to get all the a's onto one side, because you want "a =", so you can add 2a
8 + 6a = -2a + 24
+ 2a
8 + 8a = 24
a is still not on its own yet, so we need to subtract 8 and then divide by 8:
8 + 8a = 24
- 8
8a = 16
÷ 8
a = 2
So your answer is a = 2, I hope this helps!

You group the like terms together
6a+2a=24-8
8a=16
a=16÷8
a=2

8(2x – 14) + 13 = 4x – 27
Juliette [100K]
8 (2x - 14) + 13 = 4x -27

distribute 8 through the parentheses

16x - 112 + 13 = 4x - 27

combine like terms

16x - 99 = 4x -27

subtract 4x from each side

12x - 99 = -27

add 99 to each side

12x = 72

divide each side by 12

x = 6

Given linear function, y = -2/3X + 5 <br> What is the slope?
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The slope is -\frac{2}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is conveniently in slope-intercept form.

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

-2/3 is in m's spot, so it is the slope of the equation.

y=\boxed{m}x+b\\\\y=\boxed{-\frac{2}{3}}x+5

Hope this helps.
