Solve the equation. Then check your solution.4- 3/5(3a+4)=7A. -7.4B. -6C. 3D. -3

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: a = -3

Explanations:

The given equation is:

$4\text{ - }\frac{3}{5}(3a+4)\text{ = 7}$

This can be re-written as:

$4-\frac{3(3a+4)}{5}=7$

Collect like terms:

$\begin{gathered} -\frac{3(3a+4)}{5}=\text{ 7 - 4} \\ -\frac{3(3a+4)}{5}=\text{ 3} \end{gathered}$

Cross multiply:

$\begin{gathered} -3(3a+4)\text{ = 3}\times5 \\ -3(3a+4)=\text{ 15} \\ \text{Expand the bracket} \\ -9a\text{ - 12 = 15} \\ \text{Collect like terms} \\ -9a\text{ = 15 + 12} \\ -9a\text{ = 27} \\ \text{Divide both sides by -9} \\ \frac{-9a}{-9}=\frac{27}{-9} \\ a\text{ = -3} \end{gathered}$

To verify if the solution is correct, substitute a = -3 into the question given. If the Right Hand Side equals the Left Hand Side, then the solution is correct.

$\begin{gathered} 4-\frac{3(3a+4)}{5}=\text{ 7} \\ \text{Substitute a = }-3 \\ 4\text{ - }\frac{3(3(-3)+4)}{5}\text{ = 7} \\ 4\text{ - }\frac{3(-9+4)}{5}\text{ = 7} \\ 4\text{ - }\frac{3(-5)}{5}\text{ = 7} \\ 4\text{ - }\frac{-15}{5}=\text{ 7} \\ 4-(-3)=7 \\ 4+3=7 \\ 7=7 \end{gathered}$

Since the Left Hand Side = Right Hand Side = 7, the solution a = -3 is correct
