Answer:

$a = - \frac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5a - 2 = 23a$

Collect like terms and simplify

$- 2 = 23a - 5a \\ - 2 = 18a$

Divide both sides of the equation by 18 and simplify

$\frac{ - 2}{18} = \frac{18a}{18} \\ - \frac{1}{9} = a$

Answer:

450 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

5000-1400=3600

3600/8=450

Since Peter already has 1400 dollars saved you can subtract that form the total amount and since he is trying to get the rest in eight months you just divide the difference by eight.

Solve 2(9-x) = 3 ( x +16 )

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2(9−x)=3(x+16)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation by distribution

$2(9-x)=3(x+16)\\(2)(9)+(2)(-x)=(3)(x)+(3)(16)\\18+-2x=3x+48\\-2x+18=3x+48\\$
