Obviously, a=3 To show... Simultaneously subtract the smaller variable on the right side (7a) from both sides and the lesser constant on the left side (-9) from both sides (subtracting a negative means to add a positive), or in other words... Subtract 7a from and add 9 to both sides to instantly force the value of 'a'... (1)a = 3 There, you have your answer... a=3
Collect like terms: 9a -7a = 9 - 15, ie 2a = -6, so a = -3
11a-3a =8a so 8a+9=-7 8a = -16 a=-2
2a + 21 = 8a - 9Add 9 to each side:2a + 30 = 8aSubtract 2a from each side:30 = 6aDivide each side by 6:5 = a
a + 6a - 9 = 30 7a - 9 = 30 7a = 30 + 9 7a = 39 a = 39/7 a = 5.571 (to 3 decimal places only).

The variable is a. You can solve for it, like this: 8a - 9 = 7a - 6 8a = 7a + 3 8a - 7a = 3 a = 3
A = 4
8a/-9=12 8a=12x-9 8a=-108 a=-108/8 a=-13.5 Hence the required answer is -13.5
Collect like terms: 9a -7a = 9 - 15, ie 2a = -6, so a = -3
11a-3a =8a so 8a+9=-7 8a = -16 a=-2
2a + 21 = 8a - 9Add 9 to each side:2a + 30 = 8aSubtract 2a from each side:30 = 6aDivide each side by 6:5 = a
-7a+2a+9 is also -5a+9. -5a+9=24. -5a=15. a=-3.
a + 6a - 9 = 30 7a - 9 = 30 7a = 30 + 9 7a = 39 a = 39/7 a = 5.571 (to 3 decimal places only).
It is 63a - 52.
