Question

Total brain fart! 24+5x=-x+6(5a-4)

Answer 1

Answer:

When solving for x, answer = $\large\boxed{x = 5a - 8}$

When solving for a, answer = $\large\boxed{a = 1/5x + 8/5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

24 + 5x = -x + 6(5a - 4)

Start by multiplying 6 by the values in the parenthesis

24 + 5x = -x + 30a - 24

Add 24 to both sides of the equation

48 + 5x = -x + 30a

Add 1x to both sides of the equation

48 + 6x = 30a

Subtract 48 from both sides of the equation

6x = 30a - 48

Divide both sides of the equation by 6

x = 5a - 8 (Answer when solving for x)

Add 8 to both sides of the equation

x + 8 = 5a

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

a = 1/5x + 8/5 (Answer when solving for a)

-----------------------------------------

When solving for x, answer = $\large\boxed{x = 5a - 8}$

When solving for a, answer = $\large\boxed{a = 1/5x + 8/5}$

Hope this helps :)
