Simplifying

44 = 14 + -2a


Solving

44 = 14 + -2a


Solving for variable 'a'.


Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.


Add '2a' to each side of the equation.

44 + 2a = 14 + -2a + 2a


Combine like terms: -2a + 2a = 0

44 + 2a = 14 + 0

44 + 2a = 14


Add '-44' to each side of the equation.

44 + -44 + 2a = 14 + -44


Combine like terms: 44 + -44 = 0

0 + 2a = 14 + -44

2a = 14 + -44


Combine like terms: 14 + -44 = -30

2a = -30


Divide each side by '2'.

a = -15


Simplifying

a = -15 p.s i hope i helped you ~ azu

To solve the equation 44 = 14 - 2a, we need to get a by itself, on one side of the equation. We can do this by first getting terms with a on one side and terms without it on the other side.

44 = 14 - 2a

To get a on one side, we need to eliminate 14 from the side with the -2a. We can do this by subtracting 14 from each side.

44 - 14 = 14 - 14 - 2a

-2a = 30

Now we want to get a single a, which can be accomplished by dividing both sides by -2.

-2/-2a 30/-2

a = -15

Has a slope of -2/5 and goes through (-10,-1)​
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the point-slope form of a straight line equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-1)) = -2/5(x - -10)

y + 1 = -2/5(x + 10)

y  + 1 = -2/5x - 4

y = -2/5x - 5.

In standard form this is:

2x + 5y = -25.
