How do I show work for 5- (a-4) = 3 (a+2)

Mathematics

Here is how I would show the work for this problem

5- (a-4) = 3 (a+2)
5-a+4 = 3*a+3*2
5-a+4 = 3a+6
-a+9 = 3a+6
-a+9+a = 3a+6+a
9 = 4a+6
9-6 = 4a+6-6
3 = 4a
4a = 3
4a/4 = 3/4
a = 3/4

So the solution is the fraction a = 3/4 (in decimal form 0.75)

Let me know if you have any questions or issues with any of the steps shown above. It's a lot to take in so feel free to ask about anything really.

5-(a-4)=3+(a+2)
distribute invible -1
5-a+4=4+a+1
9-a=a+5
add a to both sides
9=2a+5
minus 5 both sides
4=2a
divide by 2 both sides
2=a

Write an equation that is perpendicular to y = 2x + 5 and passes through (3 , -2)
Maslowich
To find the perpendicular line, we need to find the negative inverse slope.

y = -1/2x - 2

This line also passes through the point since both have the y intercept / value of -2.

Hope this helps!

I need help answering this question
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

55

Step-by-step explanation:

JL = JK + KL

84 = 3x+5  + 6x+7

Combine like terms

84 = 9x +12

Subtract 12 from each side

84-12 = 9x+12-12

72 = 9x

Divide by 9

72/9 = 9x/9

8 =x

We want KL

KL = 6x+7

   6*8 +7

    48+7

     55
