Answer:

3) a = 9

4) v = 16

Explanation:

Assuming here that the two questions you're talking about are problem 3 and problem 4, here is my work to find each answer.

Problem 3

First, let's distribute the 5 onto both terms in the parentheses.

5(a - 3) = 30

5(a) - 5(3) = 30

5a - 15 = 30

Next, we can add 15 to both sides to isolate a.

5a - 15 = 30

5a = 45

Finally, divide both sides by 5 to find the value of a.

5a = 45

a = 9

Problem 4

First, let's remove 2 from both sides of the equation.

v/2 + 2 = 10

v/2 = 8

Then, we can multiply both sides by 2 to find the value of v.

v/2 = 8

v = 16

\large\textsf{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{(5)/(5)}\large\textsf{ because it gives you 1}\\\large\textsf{KEEP: }\mathsf{(45)/(5)}\large\textsf{ because it helps solve for the a-value}\\\\\text{YOUR NEW EQUATION: }\rm{a = (45)/(5)}\\\\\large\textsf{SIMPLIFY IT!}\\\\\large\text{a = 9}\\\\\huge\text{Therefore, your answer is: \boxed{\textsf{a = 9}}}\huge\checkmark

\text{QUESTION: }\rm{(v)/(2) + 2 = 10}\\\\\rm{\rightarrow (1)/(2)v + 2 = 10}\\\\\large\textsf{SUBTRACT 2 to BOTH SIDES}\\\\\rm{(1)/(2)v + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2}\\\\\large\textsf{CANCEL out: 2 - 2 because it gives you 0}\\\large\textsf{KEEP: 10 - 2 because it helps solve for the v-value.}\\\\\text{YOUR NEW EQUATION: }\rm{(1)/(2)v = 10 - 2}\\\\\text{SIMPLIFY IT!}\\\\\rm{(1)/(2)v = 8}\\\\\large\textsf{MULTIPLY 2 to BOTH SIDES}\\\\\rm{2* (1)/(2)v = 2*8}
