Answer:

a = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

you can solve this proportion by cross-multiplying:

4(a + 9) = -1(a + 4)

now distribute to eliminate parentheses

4a + 36 = -1a - 4

5a + 36 = -4

5a = -40

a = -8

Solve equation x/6+4=15

RoseWind [281]

x/6+4= 15

Subtract 4 from both sides; 4s cancel each other out

x/6+4-4= 15-4

x/6= 11

multiply both sides by 6 to eliminate fraction (multiply by reciprocal of 1/6)

(x/6)(6)= (11)(6)

x= 66

ANSWER: x= 66
