Answer:

a=-2

We move all terms to the left:

2(2a+3)-6-(5a+2)=0

We multiply parentheses

4a-(5a+2)+6-6=0

We get rid of parentheses

4a-5a-2+6-6=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1a-2=0

We move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right

-a=2

a=2/-1

a=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

in slope intercept form, what is the equation of the line having a slope of 2 and passing through the point (6,24)?​
Yanka [14]
Answer: y = 2x + 12

Explanation: The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is slope and b is the y-intercept. Substituting 2 for m, 6 for x, and 24 for y, we have 24 = 2(6) + b. Simplifying, we get that b = 12, so the equation is y = 2x + 12.
