Answer 1

Answer:

x = -24

a = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

So for the first one:

$-\frac{1}{4} x+6=\frac{2}{3} x+28$

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12

$-3x+72=8x+336$

Subtract 8x from both sides

$-11x+72=336$

Subtract 72 from both sides

$-11x=264$

Divide both sides by -11

$x=-24$

And the second one...

$2(a-2)=3(a-5)$

Distribute the 2 to the (a - 2) and the 3 to (a - 5)

$2a-4=3a-15$

then add 15 to both sides

$2a+11=3a$

Subtract 2a from both sides

11 = a
