To solve for this, we need to use the Distributive Property, which allows us to multiply the number/variable outside of the parenthesis by all numbers/variables inside of the parenthesis. Once we've done that, we can attempt to simplify the equation.
Our current equation is:
7a + 3(9+5a) = 0
Let's use the Distributive Property.
3(9 + 5a)
3(9) + 3(5a)
27 + 15a
Our current equation now is:
7a + 27 + 15a = 0
Combine like-terms.
15a + 7a = 22a
22a + 27 (If this is not being solved, THIS is your answer as an expression)
Subtract 27 from both sides
22a = -27
Divide both sides by 22 to get a.
a = -27/22.
If we are not solving for a, but getting an expression, your answer is:
22a + 27.
If we are solving for a, our answer is:
a = -27/22.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
x/3 + 3 = 8
x/3 + 9/3 = 8
x + 9 = 24
x = 15
The perimeter is just the sum of all of the side lengths.
p=3x+4+x-10+5x-2
p=9x-8
Answer:
StartFraction 9 Over 64 EndFraction
Step-by-step explanation:
He must add the square of half the x coefficient. That coefficient is 3/4, so half of it is 3/8 and the square of that is ...
(3/8)^2 = 9/64
Brian mus add 9/64 to boths sides of the equation.
