Answer:

4) a = 6

5) m = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4) use FOIL, First Inside Outside Last, when you cross multiply.

\frac{a+4}{a-1} =\frac{a-2}{a-4}

(a+4)(a-4) = (a-1)(a-2)

I'm going to do the left side first.

(a+4)(a-4)\\a^2-4a+4a-16\\a^2-16

Now I'm going to do the right side.

(a-1)(a-2)\\a^2-2a-1a+2\\a^2-3a+2

Next I'm going to rewrite back as the equation and solve for a.

a^2 - 16 = a^2 -3a +2\\a^2 - a^2 -16 = a^2-a^2-3a+2\\-16-2=-3a+2-2\\-18=-3a\\-18/-3=-3a/-3\\a=6

5) I'm going to use distributive propoerty when I cross multiply. Then I will setup an equation like number 4 and solve for m.

\frac{5m-2}{3}=\frac{8-3m}{5}  \\

5(5m-2)=3(8-3m)\\25m-10=24-9m\\25m+9m-10=24-9m+9m\\34m-10=24\\34m-10+10=24+10\\34m=34\\34m/34=34/34\\m=1

Black_prince [1.1K]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

6a + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to multiply everything in the brackets by 3L

(7 + 2a) x 3 =

7 * 3 = 21

2a *  3 = 6a

21 + 6a

Now you can subtract the 20 from this:

6a + 21 - 20

Simplified down:

6a + 1
