Answer:
a = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to write and solve the given equation
a - 2.5 = 1.5
a = 2.5 + 1.5
a = 4
To check, we simply substitute a = 4
That would be;
4-2.5 = 1.5
This is correct
Combine like terms
-7y² + 6y² - 2y² = -3y²
4y + (-5y) - (-9y) = 4y - 5y + 9y = 8y
9 + 9 - (-2) = 9 + 9 + 2 = 20
-3y² + 8y + 20 is your answer
