Answer:

a = 6 or a = -58/8

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you meant to ask us to solve for a.

There are two cases to solve for:

5 + 8a = 53 or -(5 + 8a) = 53

8a = 48 or 5 + 8a = -53

a = 6 or 8a = -58

a = 6 or a = -58/8

For each of the equations below, solve for y in terms of x. !<br> a. 2x – 3y = 12

ira [324]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{2}{3}x-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x-3y=12\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\2x-2x-3y=12-2x\\\\-3y=12-2x\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-3)}\\\\\dfrac{-3y}{-3}=\dfrac{12}{-3}+\dfrac{-2x}{-3}\\\\y=-4+\dfrac{2}{3}x$
