Answer:
a = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
3(1 - 2a) = -3a - 18
3 - 6a = - 3a - 18
Add 18 to each side:
3 + 18 - 6a = - 3a - 18 + 18
21 - 6a = - 3a
Add 6a to each side:
21 - 6a + 6a = - 3a + 6a
21 = 3a
3a = 21
Divide each side by 3:
3a ÷ 3 = 21 ÷ 3
a = 7

Answer:idk
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
hmm say "a" is the smaller, and "b" the greater
so "b" is "4 more than 5 times" "a"
so... 5 times "a" is 5*a or 5a
4 more than "that", will be "that" + 4
or
5a + 4
so.. whatever "a" is, "b" is 5a+4
now, their sum is 22, as opposed to "zz" hehe
so

solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is
what's "b"? well, b = 5a + 4
First of all, you can move the +2x to the other side:
-11 = -26 - 2x
Then you can move the -26 to the other side and then simplify:
-11+26 = -2x
15 = -2x
Then you can divide both sides by 2:
7.5 = -x
Then you can flip the sides and the signs around:
x = -7.5
No, The answer is not -7, it is -7.5
Hope this helps! :)
