Question

1А. 2а - 9 ба + 15 solving equation with variable on both sides

Answer 1

a = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation;

`-2a\text{ - 9 = 6a+15}`

Collect the like terms;

`\begin{gathered} -2a-6a\text{ = 15 + 9} \\ -8a\text{ = 24} \end{gathered}`

Divide bith sides by -8;

`\begin{gathered} (-8a)/(-8)=(24)/(-8) \\ a\text{ = -3} \end{gathered}`

Hence the solution is a = -3
