The solution would be like
this for this specific problem:
a + 20 = 5/7 (3a - 20) <span>
3a = 90
a + 20 = 50
3a - 20 = 70
<span>5/7 x 70 = 50</span>
Answer:
90 in the first and 30 in the second for before and for after there is
70 in the first and 50 for the second.
Step-by-step explanation:
Before solution:
a+20=5/7(3a-20)
a+20=(15a-100)7
multiply each side by 7
7a+140=15a-100
8a=240
a=30
3a=90
After solution (with information from last equation):
a+20=5/7(3a-20)
30+20=5/7(90-20)
50=5/7(70)
50=50
a=50
3a times 5/7=70
