Hello there! The answer to your question is a = 4.
To solve for a in the equation -4 + 4a = 12 you want to isolate, or separate, a from all of the equation's other values.
Our first step is to add 4 to both sides so the 4 cancels out on the left side.
-4+4 + 4a = 12+4
4a = 16
Next, we divide both sides by 4 to finish isolating a.
4/4a = 16/4
a = 4
Want to verify that this is correct? Place the value we found for a (4) into the equation in place of a and if it comes out as a true statement, the answer is correct.
-4 + 4(4) = 12
-4 + 16 = 12
12 = 12
Since 12 is in fact equal to 12, i can guarantee you that i have provided you with the correct answer. I hope this helps & have a great rest of your day! :)
Answer:2x-1=0
Step-by-step explanation:
x=1/2
Cross multiply
2x=1
Subtract 1 from both sides
2x-1=1-1
2x-1=0
Answer:
-6 ≤x
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-2≤5(x+2)
Distribute
3x-2≤5x+10
Subtract 3x
3x-2-3x≤5x +10-3x
-2 ≤2x+10
Subtract 10 from each side
-2-10 ≤2x+10-10
-12 ≤2x
Divide by 2
-12/2≤2x/2
-6 ≤x
Answer:
5x+2y =-6 ........1
3x-2y = 22 ........2
Add both Equations
we get
8x = 16
Divide both sides by 8
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into any of the equations
3(2) - 2y = 22
-2y = 22 - 6
- 2y = 18
Divide both sides by -2
y = - 9
x = 2 y = - 9
Hope this helps
