7(2a-3)-5a=-3

distribute

14a -21 -5a = -3

combine like terms

9a -21 = -3

add 21 to each side

9a = 18

divide by 9

a =2

Hi there!

Your equation states 7(2a - 3) - 5a = -3

The first step is to simplify the parentheses. When they are touching a number like that, or in your case number 7, it means multiplication.

7(2a - 3)

Start multiplying

7 × 2a = 14a.

7 × (-3) = -21

Now combine the answers and then the equation.  

14a - 21 - 5a = -3

Add 21 to both sides

14a - 21 - 5a = -3

     + 21          +21

You will be left with 14a - 5a = 18

Subtract 14a - 5a

That will equal 9a

9a = 18

Divide 9 from both sides.

9 ÷ 9, you will be left with a.

9 ÷ 18 would equal 2.

Your answer would be a = 2

Hope this helped!~

A chemist mixes 4 liters of one acid solution with 10 liters of a 40% solution, resulting in a 30% acid solution. The table show
kondaur [170]

Given that amount of first acid solution = 4 liters

Let concentration of the first acid solution = x

then effective amount of first solution = 4x


Given that amount of second  acid solution = 10 liters

Givn that concentration of the second acid solution = 40% = 0.4

then effective amount of second solution = 0.4(10)


Then amount of resulting acid solution = (4+10) liters

Givn that concentration of the resulting acid solution = 30% = 0.3

then effective amount of resulting solution = 0.3(4+10)


Combining all those results gives equation

4x +0.4(10) = 0.3(4+10)

4x +4 = 0.3(14)

4x +4 = 4.2

4x = 0.2

x=0.05


Hence final answer is 0.05 or you can say 5%.

1. What property allows the expression 4.7x + 10.4 + 15.3x − 8.4x + 15.6 to be simplified to the equivalent expression 20x + 10.
Elis [28]

Answer:

  • commutative property
  • distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression

  4.7x + 10.4 + 15.3x − 8.4x + 15.6

can be simplified in a few stages. First of all, we use the commutative property of addition to swap terms 2 and 3.

  4.7x +15.3x +10.4 -8.4x +15.6

Next, we use the distributive property to factor x from the first two terms.

  (4.7 +15.3)x +10.4 -8.4x +15.6

Now we perform addition.

  20x +10.4 -8.4x +15.6 . . . . . . . . equivalent expression
