To solve 7-2a-5-14=-2+3a :

1) combine like terms: 7-19 - 2a = -2 + 3a, and then -10 = 5a

2) solve this equation for a: a = -10/5 = -2.

The solution of 7-2a-5-14=-2+3a is a = -2.

7 - 2a - 5 - 14 = -2 + 3a

Firstly, collect like terms (the constants) on the left side of the equation.

7 - 5 - 14 = -12

The equation becomes

-12 - 2a = -2 + 3a

Add 2 to both sides. The -2 on the right side cancels out and the constant -12 on the left becomes -10.

-10 - 2a = 3a

Add 2a to both sides. The -2a on the left cancels out and the 3a on the right becomes 5a.

-10 = 5a

Divide both sides by 5. The coefficient on the right cancels out and the -10 becomes -2.

-2 = a

Answer:

a = -2

Someone please help me!! I don’t know the answer!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The measurement of the arc is 3Pi

that represents 108 / 360 of the circle.

Equation

108/350 2 * pi * R = 3* pi

Solution                            

Pi is on both sides of the equation. They both cancel.

108/360 = 0.3

0.3 * 2 * R = 3

0.6 * R = 3

R = 3/0.6

R = 5

Write the slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (-10,17) and (5,-4)
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

y = 7/5 x + 31

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we need to use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m =(-4-17)/(5- -10)

   = -21/(5+10)

  = 21/15

Divide the top and bottom by 3.

  = 7/5

The slope is 7/5.


Using the point slope form of the equation,

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-17 = 7/5 (x--10)

y-17 = 7/5(x+10)

Distribute the 7/5 ths.

y-17 = 7/5 x + 7/5*10

y-17 = 7/5 x +14

Add 17 to each side

y = 7/5 x + 14 + 17

y = 7/5 x + 31


This is in slope intercept form, with the slope  being 7/5 and the y intercept of 31
