1/2 (14x-2)-1/4(4x-24) = 6x + 5
4.3125 is the answer to that equation
4(a + 2) + 9 = 5
to solve this problem lets solve this step by step
Step 1 - lets solve this part of problem 4(a + 2 )
by using distributive property we get,
4a + 8 + 9 = 5
Step 2 - adding the like terms
4a + 17 = 5
Step 3 - subtracting 17 from both sides
4a + 17 - 17 = 5 - 17
4a = -12
Step 4 - dividing both sides by 4
a = -3
So our final answer is a = -3
Hope this helps you :)
