10x-35+3ax=5ax-7a \\ 3ax-5ax+7a = -10x+35 \\ -2ax+7a = -10x+35 \\ a(-2x+7)=-10x+35 \\\\ a= \frac{-10x+35}{-2x+7} \\\\ a =  \frac{5(-2x+7)}{(-2x+7)} \\\\ a=5

How do I do pre-Algebra???
Lana71 [14]

Hey there!

The main concept of pre-algebra is solving equations for variables in them.

For example, let's say you have the algebraic equation below.

x+1=3

With algebra, you need to figure what x is equal to. To do so, you will use inverse operations on both sides of the equation to isolate x one side, showing what it is equal to.

We would subtract 1 to both sides to isolate x on one side.

x+1-1=3-1

As you can see, +1-1=0, therefore, this would give us x+0, or just x. Now it is isolated and will show us what it is equal to.

x=3-1

x=2

Therefore, in our equation x+1=3, x would be equal to 2.

I hope this explanation helps! Have a great time here at Brainly!

Alexis is making a cake and needs 4/5 cups of brown sugar for every 3/4 pounds of flour. How much brown sugar will be needed for
malfutka [58]

Answer:

16/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio: 3/4 : 4/5

Whole number ratio: 15 : 16

You need to divide both sides by 15 so you can turn 15 to 1

Divide both sides of the ratio by 15: 1 : 16/15

So, for 1 pound of flour, you need 16/15 pounds of brown sugar for a cake.
