Answer:
a = -11, 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
-7 = |a-3| / -2
Multiply both sides by -2:
|a - 3| = 14
So a - 3 = 14
Giving a = 17
or
a - 3 =- -14
giving a = -11.
Checking these values:
-7 = |17-3| / -2 = 14/-2 = -7
- so a = 17 is a solution.
-7 = |-11-3| / -2 = 14/-2 = -7
so a = -11 is also a solution.
