There are many ways you can start off by solving an equation. In this case, the first operation used in solving this equation would be subtraction. You would have to subtract 5 from each side.
Answer:
7) a= 20
8) m= 5
9)n = 5
10) b = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
7) 18+2=-2+2+a
>> 20 = a >> a = 20
18 + 2 = 20 so that isolates the variable leaving a = 20
8) -7+12 = m -12+12
>>> 5 = m >> m = 5
-7 + 12 = 5 so that again isolates the variable leaving m = 5
9) <u>-8(7</u> + <u>7n</u>) = -336
>> -56+56 + -56n = -336+56
>>> -56n/-56 = -280/-56
>>>> n = 5
use distributive property, cancel out necessary numbers, isolate the variable. leaving n = 5.
10) -140 = <u>-7(-4 </u>+ <u>3b)</u>
>> -140 = 28 - 21b >> -140-28 = -21b +28-28 ( flipped the numbers)
>>> -168/-21 = -21b /-21
>>>> 8 = b >> b =8
Hope it helps!
Answer
at first I said 1/2 but it's 2/5's.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
consecutive even integers have a difference of 2 between them
for example 2, 4, 6 are 3 consecutive even integers
In general if we let the first integer be k then the next 2 integers are
k + 2 and k + 4
the sum of these equals 4 times the first integer, that is 4k, hence
k + k + 2 + k + 4 = 4k
3k + 6 = 4k ( subtract 3k from both sides )
6 = k
the 3 consecutive integers are
k = 6
k + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8
k + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
that is 6, 8 and 10
note that sum = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24
and 4 × 6 = 24
confirming the sum of the 3 integers equals 4 times the first integer
