The error to that problem is the person switched the x and y points, like in point A, it’s supposed to be (x,y) or (1,5). The person put the y in front of the x while writing the points.
4a-8=28
add 8 to both sides to start to isolate the variable (a)
-8+8 cancels each other out
28+8=36
4a=36
to completely isolate the variable divide both sides by 4
4a÷4=a
36÷4=9
a=9
Answer:

Answer:
-1/7
Step-by-step explanation:
-3/2(x-2)=45/14
x-2=(45/14)/(-3/2)
x-2=(45/14)(-2/3)
x-2=-90/42
simplify -90/42 into -15/7
x-2=-15/7
x=-15/7+2
x=-15/7+14/7
x=-1/7
