First you would do parenthesis according to the PEMDAS(Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract) Rule

4 -2(-5a -10) = 30

4 + 10a + 20 = 30

Now you need to add 4 and 20 because they are on the same side

24 + 10a = 30

Now subtract 24 on both sides

24 + 10a = 30

-24. -24


10a = 6

Last divide 10 from both sides


10a/10. = 6/10

a= 6/10

Last simplify (optional but recommended)

a = 3/5 or 0.6


Hope this helped :)


A = 0.6

In order to solve the system of linear equations, the coefficients of one of the variables must be the same number but opposite
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because both equations do not have matching numbers for the x or y variable, and both equations are positive you are going to have to multiply each equation by a number  so that there will be at least one variable with the same number but with opposite signs.

it does not matter which variable you choose.

lets use y because 2 and 3 are smaller then 2 and 5.

so lets multiply the first equation by 2 in order to get y equal to 6.

2(2x)+2(3y)=(2)6

(do not forget to multiply what the equation is equal to also)

4x+6y=12

now for the second equation we need y to equal negative 6

-3(5x)+-3(2y)=-3(4)

-15x-6y=-12

now lets put the 2 new equations next to each other and see what we can cancel out

4x+6y=12

-15x-6y=-12

-11x=0

x=0

now plug 0 in for x and solve for y (it does not matter which of the 4 equations you choose to solve.

2(0)+3y=6

3y=6

y=2

so your answer is x=0, y=2
