Answer:

a =-6

Step-by-step explanation:

4a+5=2+3.5a

Subtract 3.5a from each side

4a-3.5a+5=2+3.5a-3.5a

.5a +5 = 2

Subtract 5 from each side

.5a +5-5 = 2-5

.5a = -3

Divide each side by .5

.5a/.5 = -3/.5

a =-6

Vilka [71]

what you do is take 5 away from 3. No! Borrow 1 Whole (9) and makes it 9 13/8 - 8 5/8 then subtract the 2 fractions

$\frac{13}{8} - \frac{5}{8} ...$

and that is

$\frac{8}{8}$

then convert that into 1 whole. Now add the whole to the 9 and thats 10. Now, subtract the 2 whole numbers. 10-8=2 so the answer is 2
