Put in terms of a
b=2a
a=a
c=a-15000
2a+a+a-15000=109000
2a+a+a=124000
4a=124000
a=31000
Candidate B received 62000 votes

In “modeling with linear equations” how do i solve<br><br> -11-8x=-3x+19

user100 [1]

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

-11 - 8x = -3x + 19 (Move constants to right side)

-8x = -3x + 19 + 11 (Move x to left side)

3x - 8x = 30 (simplify)

-5x = 30 (divide both sides by -5)

x = -6
