Answer 1

x = -24

a = 11

Explanation:

So for the first one:

`-(1)/(4) x+6=(2)/(3) x+28`

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12

`-3x+72=8x+336`

Subtract 8x from both sides

`-11x+72=336`

Subtract 72 from both sides

`-11x=264`

Divide both sides by -11

`x=-24`

And the second one...

`2(a-2)=3(a-5)`

Distribute the 2 to the (a - 2) and the 3 to (a - 5)

`2a-4=3a-15`

then add 15 to both sides

`2a+11=3a`

Subtract 2a from both sides

11 = a
