5, 11 and 2 are all prime numbers which add together to create 18.
5+11=16+2=18
First you have to put all of your common numbers together. 4a and 9a go together. You then subtract those because 9 is negative (-9). Then you get -5a. Now move on to your other numbers. You have 26 and 17. 17 is negative as well (-17), so you subtract it from 26. That gives you 9.
Your new equation is -5a + 9 = 26
Now you subtract 9 from both sides. Your positive (+9) will cancel out with your negative (-9). Then subtract it from 26. 9 minus 26 is 17.
Now your equation is -5a = 17
Since it's negative, you're going to add it (5) to both sides.
Your 5's cancel out, and 17 + 5 is 22.
a = 22
22 is the answer
The value of x in the equation is 26.7
<h3>How to solve an equation?</h3>
0.75x + 1.5y = 40
−1.5x − 1.5y = −60
add both equation to eliminate y .
Therefore,
−1.5x + 0.75x = -0.75x
1.5y + (- 1.5y) = 0
40 + (-60) = -20
Hence,
-0.75x = - 20
divide both sides by -0.75
-0.75x / -0/75 = - 20 / -0.75
x = - 20 / -0.75
x = 26.6666666667
x = 26.7

Answer:
27 - 50k
Simplify
1. Distribute
-5 ( 1 + 2k ) - 8 ( -4 + 5k )
-5 - 10k - 8 ( -4 + 5k )
2. Distribute
-5 - 10k - 8 ( -4 + 5k )
-5 - 10k + 32 - 40k
3. Add the numbers
-5 - 10k + 32 - 40k
27 - 10k - 40k
4. Add the same term to both sides of the equation
27 - 10k - 40k
27 - 50k
Combine the terms. Note that: one positive and one negative sign results in a negative sign.
Simplify: 5 + (-4) = 5 - 4 = 1
1 + (-7) = 1 - 7 = -6
-6 + 2 = -4
-4 is your answer
