<span>6a+14=-7-a
you simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
<span>6a+14=-7-a
you move all terms containing a to the left and all other terms to the right.
<span>+6a+1a=-7-14
you need to simplify left and right side of the equation.
<span>+7a=-21
you divide both sides of the equation by 7 to get a.

Answer:
x=151/64 y=9/8 z=-51/32
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+2y+5z- (2x-y+z)=-1-2
3y+4z=-3
2x+2y+5z- (2x+4y-3z)=-1-14
-2y+8z=-15
We have two equations 3y+4z=-3 and -2y+8z=-15 (We get it due to elimination method)
3y+4z=-3 (2)
-2y+8z=-15 (-3)
6y+8z=-6
6y-24z=45
(6y+8z)- (6y-24z)= -6-45
32z=-51
z=-51/32
3y-204/32=-3
3y= -96/32+204/32
3y=108/32
y=36/32=9/8
2x+2*9/8+5*(-51/32)=-1
2x+9/4-255/32=-1
2x+72/32-255/32=-1
2x-183/32=-32/32
2x=151/32
x=151/64
You multiply both sides by 9 first so you have -45=y-7. then add 7 to both sides to get y=-38
Set up a proportion. 6/10 = 9/x. cross multiply so x times 6 = 6x. And 10 times 9 = 90. so 6x=90. Then 90 and 6x divided by 6. which gets you x=15. The 9 ft tall elephant will cast a 15 ft shadow.
