Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a + 7) = 5a - 13

We want to bring a to one side, I will choose to bring it to the right

First, expand the bracket by multiplying 2 with a + 7

2a + 14 = 5a - 13

Bring the -13 to the left by adding 13 to both sides

2a + 14 + 13 = 5a - 13 + 13

Simplify

2a + 27 = 5a

Bring the 2a to the right by subtracting 2a from both sides

2a - 2a + 27 = 5a - 2a

Simplify

27 = 5a - 2a

27 = 3a

Bring the 3 to the left by dividing both sides by 3

27÷3 = a

Simplify

a = 9

How do you solve 9 tenths minus 13 fiftenths
Elena L [17]

Answer:

0.04

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 9/10 = 0.9 and 13/15 = 0.86

2. Subtract 0.9 and 0.86

3. You should end up with 0.04

Remember when a number goes like 0.86666666666 to use 0.86 or if it has 0.86666666667 to use 0.87 because you would be simplifying it.
