Mathematics
1 answer:
Anettt [7]3 years ago

Answer:

B. a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(a - 4) + 1 = 9 - a

Distribute the 3 into the parenthesis.

3a - 12 + 1 = 9 - a

Add -12 and 1.

3a - 11 = 9 - a

Add a to both sides.

4a - 11 = 9

Add 11 to both sides.

4a = 20

Divide both sides by 4.

a = 5.

Proof:

3(a - 4) + 1 = 9 - a

Substitute variable.

3(5 - 4) + 1 = 9 - 5

Subtract inside parenthesis.

3(1) + 1 = 9 - 5

Multiply 3 and 1.

3 + 1 = 9 - 5

Add 3 and 1.

4 = 9 - 5

Subtract 5 from 9.

4 = 4.

Use order of operations to solve this problem:

  • Parentheses
  • Exponents
  • Multiply (Left to right)
  • Divide (Left to right)
  • Addition
  • Subraction

In your case, there are no parentheses or exponents, so we can skip right the the multiply and divide step. The first multiplication is 98*63=6174. The next step is to do 32*69=2208. Then you minus 6174-2208=3966.
