ANSWER
EXPLANATION
We want to find the value of a for which the binomial, 2a-1 is smaller than the value of the binomial 7-1.2a by 7.
This means that, when we subtract 2a-1 from 7-1.2a, we should get 7.

Divide both sides by -3.2,
Answer:
x + Y = 39 or x = 39-y
20x + 50y = 1.40
20 (39 - y) + 50y = 11.40
7.80 - 20y + 50y = 11.40
30y = 11.40 - 7.80
30y = 3.60
y = 3.60/30
y = 12 50p coins were collected.
x = 39 - 12 = 27 20p coins were collected.
Proof:
20*27 + 50*12 = 11.40
5.40 + 6 = 11.40
11.40 = 11.40
I hope it helps.
Get rid of all common factors.
36/4 = 9
x^9/x^7 = x^2
y^4/y^3 = y
X - y = -3
Move constant to the left by adding its opposite to both sides
x - y + 3 = -3 + 3
The sum of two opposites equals
your answer would be: x - y + 3 = 0
All the common factors of 24, 64, 88 are 1, 2, 4, 8
