Answer:

a = -32

Step-by-step explanation:

3a−(10+5a)=54

Distribute the minus sign

3a−10-5a=54

Combine like terms

-2a -10 = 54

Add 10 to each side

-2a-10+10 = 54+10

-2a = 64

Divide by -2

-2a/-2 = 64/-2

a = -32

Answer:

a = -32

Step-by-step explanation:

3a - (10 + 5a) = 54

Distribute the negative sign as if it were -1.

3a - 10 - 5a = 54

Combine like terms on left side.

-2a - 10 = 54

Add 10 to both sides.

-2a = 64

Divide both sides by -2.

a = -32

What is f(-4) if f(x)=|7x-3|
MrRissso [65]
Substitute the given into the function

f(-4) = |7(-4) - 3|
now solve
f(-4) = |-28 - 3|
f(-4) = | -31| 
the absolute value of |-31| is 31
so, 
f(-4) = 31

Hope this helps :)

Hello!

Let's make a proportion:

Divide by 30

270 ÷ 30 = 9

stich3 [128]

Answer:

<h2>x = 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-2+4(-x+4)=10\qquad\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\-2+(4)(-x)+(4)(4)=10\\\\-2-4x+16=10\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\-4x+(-2+16)=10\\\\-4x+14=10\qquad\text{subtract 14 from both sides}\\\\-4x+14-14=10-14\\\\-4x=-4\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\\dfrac{-4x}{-4}=\dfrac{-4}{-4}\\\\x=1
