Find a, (x-3) + (x-a) = 15

Mathematics

slega [8]3 years ago

a = 2x - 18

remove the parenthesis and simplify

x - 3 + x - a = 15

2x - 3 - a = 18 ( add 3 to both sides

2x - a = 18 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- a = 18 - 2x ( multiply through by - 1 )

a = - 18 + 2x

a = 2x - 18

Answer:

The balance is \$11,505.34
