Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
a + 6a - 14 = 3a + 6a
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>
- Combine like terms: 7a - 14 = 9a
- Subtract 7a on both sides: -14 = 2a
- Divide 2 on both sides: -7 = a
- Rewrite: a = -7
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in a into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>a</em>: -7 + 6(-7) - 14 = 3(-7) + 6(-7)
- Multiply: -7 - 42 - 14 = -21 - 42
- Subtract: -49 - 14 = -63
- Subtract: -63 = -63
Here we see that -63 is equal to -63.
∴ a = -7 is a solution of the equation.
<u>Step 4: Define equation</u>
-12 - 4x = 8x + 4(1 - 7x)
<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute 4: -12 - 4x = 8x + 4 - 28x
- Combine like terms: -12 - 4x = -20x + 4
- Add 20x on both sides: -12 + 16x = 4
- Add 12 on both sides: 16x = 16
- Divide 16 on both sides: x = 1
<u>Step 6: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: -12 - 4(1) = 8(1) + 4(1 - 7(1))
- Multiply: -12 - 4 = 8 + 4(1 - 7)
- Subtract: -16 = 8 + 4(-6)
- Multiply: -16 = 8 - 24
- Subtract: -16 = -16
Here we see that -16 does indeed equal -16.
∴ x = 1 is a solution of the equation.

x=5 or x=−5
Answer:
y= -3x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Put -2x + 6y = -4 into slope-interceltp form
Take the negative reciprocal of the slope.
Use this reciprocal in point-slope form
and you have,
= y= -3x + 8
<em>(EDITED)</em> Steps:
2x+6y = -4
6y=2x - 4
y= 1/3x + 2/3
if two lines are perpendicular,
m1 * m2 + -1
1/3 * m2 = -1
m2 = -3
the line perpendicular to this line is
y = -3x + k ; k ∈ R
the line passes through the point (5,-7)
so,
-7 = -3. (5) +k
-7 = -15 + k
k = 8
∴the equation of a line that passes through the point (5,-7) and is perpendicular to the line -2x+6y=-4 is
y= -3x + 8
Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D
