-7a - 10 = 20 -3a

-7a + 3a= 20 + 10

-4a=30

divide by negative 4

a=-7.5

-7x-7.5=52.5-10=42.5

-3x-7.5=22.5

20+22.5=42.5

3a 4b equals 7a 4b?

Clearly, there are some signs missing. So let's try the four possibilities for the second terms: 1. + and + 3a + 4b = 7a + 4b Subtract 4b from each side: 3a = 7a Subtract 3a from each side: 0 = 4a Answer : a = 0, b indeterminate (ie can have any vaue). 2. + and - 3a + 4b = 7a - 4b Subtract 4b from each side: 3a = 7a - 8b Subtract 7a from each side: -4a = -8b or 4a = 8b Answer: a = 2b 3. - and - 3a - 4b = 7a - 4b Add 4b to each side: 3a = 7a Subtract 3a from each side: 0 = 4a Answer : a = 0, b indeterminate (ie can have any vaue). 4. - and + 3a - 4b = 7a + 4b Add 4b to each side: 3a = 7a + 8b Subtract 7a from each side: -4a = 8b or 4a = -8b Answer: a = -2b Can't do better than that with the information available.
