Question

Solve each equation. Check your solution. A) -6a=36 B) -9d=-72

Answer 1

A) -6a = 36

Divide both sides by -6 so that (a) is isolated.

a = -6

Check by plugging in -6 for a.

-6a=36

-6(-6)=36

36=36

So, a=-6

B) -9d=-72

Divide both sides by -9.

d = -72/-9

d = 8

Check work by plugging in 8 for d.

-9d=-72

-9(8)=-72

-72=-72

So, d=8
