8a - 15 = -3 8a = 15 - 3 8a = 12 a = 12/8 = 6/4 = 3/2
11a-3a =8a so 8a+9=-7 8a = -16 a=-2
2a - 4y = 3a - 8a - 5y 7a = -ya = -(y/7)
-8a-1=-23 (get rid of the constants on one side by adding one to both sides) -8a-1+1=-23+1 -8a=-22 (now divide both sides by -8) -8a/-8=-22/-8 (this yields...) a=-22/-8 (which is...) a=2.75
-8a - 6 = 10Add 8a to each side:-6 = 8a + 10Subtract 10 from each side:-16 = 8aDivide each side by 8:-2 = aIn order to make the original statement true, ' a ' must be -2.
A = 4
ab+40=c2a(a+2)+40=(a+4)2a2+2a+40=a2+8a+1624=6a4=a6=b8=c4x6+40=8224+40=6464=64
8a = 12 so a = 1.5
a = 3 !
8a - 15 = -3 8a = 15 - 3 8a = 12 a = 12/8 = 6/4 = 3/2
8a/-9=12 8a=12x-9 8a=-108 a=-108/8 a=-13.5 Hence the required answer is -13.5
The variable is a. You can solve for it, like this: 8a - 9 = 7a - 6 8a = 7a + 3 8a - 7a = 3 a = 3
6a-3=8a+11 -3-11=8a-6a -14=2a a=-7
11a-3a =8a so 8a+9=-7 8a = -16 a=-2
2a - 4y = 3a - 8a - 5y 7a = -ya = -(y/7)
A/-4.2 = 8A = -33.6
-8a-1=-23 (get rid of the constants on one side by adding one to both sides) -8a-1+1=-23+1 -8a=-22 (now divide both sides by -8) -8a/-8=-22/-8 (this yields...) a=-22/-8 (which is...) a=2.75
