Question

What is the solution to the equation 7(a – 10) = 13 – 2(2a + 3)?

a = StartFraction 26 Over 11 EndFraction
a = 7
a = StartFraction 89 Over 11 EndFraction
a = 621

Answer 1

a=7

Explanation:

7(a – 10) = 13 – 2(2a + 3)

Open the bracket

7a-70=13-4a-6

Collect like terms

7a+4a=13-6+70

11a=77

divide both sides by 11

11a/11=77/11

a=77/11

a=7
