5 + 14a = 9a - 5

<u>      -9a</u>   <u> -9a     </u>

5 + 5a =       -5

<u>-5         </u>    <u>     -5 </u>

       5a =    -10

      \frac{5a}{5} = \frac{-10}{5}

         a = -2

Answer: a = -2

Since you are solving for a, you want to have a on one side of the equation and the other terms on another side of the equation. It would be easiest to have all the terms with a on the left side of the equation, so that is what we will do.

Subtract 9a from both sides to get a on the left side of the equation.

5 + 5a = -5

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with a.

5a = -10

Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for a.

a = -2

Simple, since your equation is y=35x+45, it's quite simple to see what is the y-intercept.
It's written in y=mx+b form, the b being the y-intercept.

Thus, your y-intercept, is 45.

if there are 12 dogs that sell for $104 and 8 cats that sell for $25. At the end of the day there are 4 dogs left and 5 cats lef
Vinil7 [7]

Initially there were 12 dogs

dogs left at the end of day =4

number of dogs sold=12-4=8

price of one dog=$104

price of 8 dogs = 104*8= $832

initially there were 8 cats

cats left at the end of day =5

number of cats sold =8-5=3

price of one cat= $25

price of 3 cats =25*3= $75

ratio of sales for dogs to cats = 832/75

If x equals 7, then find the matching value for y.<br> -2x-2y=-2
mihalych1998 [28]
Y = -6.
-2(7)-2y=-2

-14-2y=-2

you need to move -14 to the other side by canceling out -14 with +14, and add +14 to -2, giving you -2y=12. -2/12=-6
