Answer:

a=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

4a-14=7a-8

Subtract 7a from both sides:

4a-14-7a=7a-8-7a

Group like terms:

4a-7a-14=7a-8-7a

Simplify the arithmetic:

-3a-14=7a-8-7a

Group like terms:

-3a-14=7a=-7a-7a-8

Simplify the arithmetic:

-3a-14=-8

Add 14 to both sides:

-3a-14+14=-8+14

Simplify the arithmetic:

-3a=-8+14

Simplify the arithmetic:

-3a=6

Divide both sides by-3:

Cancel out the negatives:

Simplify the fraction:

Simplify the signs:

Find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator:

Factor out and cancel the greatest common factor:

x = -(-2) 
x = +2.
Since +2 is positive quantity, positive quantities are written to the right of 0 on number line.

What are the coordinates of the midpoint between the points (-1,4) and (2,-5)
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

(1/2, -1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a midpoint add the two x's and divide by 2 so -1+2 / 2 = 1/2

add the two y's and divide by 2 so 4-5 / 2 = -1/2

Put the two numbers together as a coordinate (1/2, -1/2)
