Two-fifths time a plus a over 2 equals a minus 2 will be a=20

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have to find a, by first writing the verbal expression into an arithmetic form as,

Two fifths times a = (2/5)a

a over 2 = a/2

a minus 2 = a-2

(2/5)a + (a/2) = a-2

We have to take LCM on LHS as 10.

(2×2 /5×2)a + (a×5 /2×5) = a-2

(4a/10) + (5a/10) = a-2

Moving 10 to the other side, we will get,

4a+ 5a = 10(a-2)

9a = 10a -20

Grouping terms we will get,

10a - 9a = 20

a = 20

Two-Step Equations
bulgar [2K]
<span>2x - 12 = 14

Add 12 to both sides of the = sign to get rid of the "-12".

</span><span>2x - 12 <span>+ 12 </span>= 14 <span>+ 12</span>
2x = 26

Now divide both sides by 2 to isolate the x
</span><span>
2x / 2 = 26 / 2
x = 13.

The solution is x = 13.

Hope this helps!

Let me know if there's anything you're still confused about and I'll try to help you out.

Solving for x like this is definitely something you want to master and be able to do on your own, because you'll be doing it in future math.
