The value of a would be 3.5, as a=1 when b=10 means that a is worth 1/10 of b's value.
-6m+19
1/2(-12m+38)
All we have to do is simply distribute the 1/2.
1/2(-12m) + 1/2(38)
(-6m) + 19

Answer:
x = 24/15 = 8/3 = 2 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
remember what you do to the left you must do to the right.
I converted the -5 to -15/3 so I could easily add or subtract
-5/3 x = -8/3
multiply both sides by -3/5 to cancel the coefficient of the x
x = -8/3 * -3/5 = 24/15
