Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
7x - 1 + 6x - 1 = 180
13x - 2 = 180
13x = 182
x = 14
7(14) - 1 = 98 - 1= 97
6(14) - 1 = 84 - 1 = 83
9a - 3(a - 6) = -6...distribute thru the parenthesis
9a - 3a + 18 = -6....subtract 18 from both sides
9a - 3a = -6 - 18 ...combine like terms
6a = - 24...divide both sides by 6
a = -24/6
a = - 4
