Question

Solve for a

11 = -3/10a + 2

Answer 1

a = -30

Explanation:

In order to solve for a in the equation
`\sf 11 = (-3)/(10) a + 2`, we can follow these steps:

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:

`\sf 11 -2= (-3)/(10) a + 2-2`

`\sf 9 = (-3)/(10) a`

Multiply both sides of the equation by
`\sf -(10)/(3)`:

`\sf 9 *-(10)/(3)= (-3)/(10) a*-(10)/(3)`

-30 = a

Therefore, the solution to the equation 11 a + 2
`\sf (-3)/(10) a + 2` is a = -30.
