Question

Please solve the equation: 11a-(4a-7)=77

Answer 1

a=10

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

11a−(4a−7)=77

11a+−1(4a−7)=77(Distribute the Negative Sign)

11a+−1(4a)+(−1)(−7)=77

11a+−4a+7=77

(11a+−4a)+(7)=77(Combine Like Terms)

7a+7=77

Step 2: Subtract 7 from both sides.

7a+7−7=77−7

7a=70

Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.

Thus a = 10

Answer 2

a=10

Explanation:

11a-(4a-7)=77

11a-4a+7=77

7a+7=77

7a=70

a=10
