7a=12a+10 /-12a (from both sides)
7a-12a=10
-5a=10 /: -5 (from both sides)
a= -2
(7X-2=12X-2+10
-14= -24+10
-14=-14)
Here i just added one with a few more words incase you need them, but the above answer is the exact same, all of our steps are the same too! They also added how to check your answer at the end there.
We start with the equation
7a=12a+10 ===> we want to get all the variables on one side of the equation ( which would be our "a")
So we minus 12a from both sides of the equation giving us
-5a= 10 ====> now we want a by itself so we do the opposite of multiplication which is division so we are now going to divide both sides by -5 ( remember to include your negative sign in your division)
So divide both sides by -5 which gives
a=-2
7a + 10 = 2a 7a = 2a -10 5a = -10 a = -2
4a+3a-4 = 10 4a+3a = 10+4 7a = 14 a = 2
a + 18 = 7a a-a +18 = 7a-a 18 = 6a 18/6 = 6a/6 3 = a 3=a
12a- 6a + a = 7a Since they all have the same variable, you can simply add and subtract 12-6 = 6 6+1 = 7
Collect like terms: 9a -7a = 9 - 15, ie 2a = -6, so a = -3
18
7a+10=2a 7a+10-2a=0 5a+10=0 5a=-10 a=-2
7a + 10 = 2a 7a = 2a -10 5a = -10 a = -2
(7a=3)=(-a-5)=16
555
7a + 4 = 5a + 7 7a = 5a + 3 2a = 3 a = 3/2
a/5 + a/2 = 14/2 2a/10 + 5a/10 = 7 7a/10 = 7 7a = 70 a = 10
9a-a = 19+7a 8a = 19+7a 8a - 7a = 19 + 7a - 7a 1a = 19 a = 19
4a+3a-4 = 10 4a+3a = 10+4 7a = 14 a = 2
a + 18 = 7a a-a +18 = 7a-a 18 = 6a 18/6 = 6a/6 3 = a 3=a
12a- 6a + a = 7a Since they all have the same variable, you can simply add and subtract 12-6 = 6 6+1 = 7
7a-17 = 4a+1 7a-4a = 1+17 3a = 18 a = 6
