Question

11-3(a-2)=27 I NEED TO SHOW WORK HELP

Answer 1

a= -
`(10)/(3)` or -3.33

Explanation:

`11-3(a-2)=27`

subtract 11 on both sides; 27-11=16

`-3(a-2)=16`

divide both sides by -3

`(a-2)=-(16)/(3)`

add 2 on both sides

`a=-(16)/(3) +2`

a=
`-(10)/(3)`

Answer 2

3.3 recurring

Explanation:

1) expand bracket

11-3a+6=27

2)rearrange equation

11+6=27+3a

11+6-27=3a

17-27=3a

-10=3a

-10/3=a

a=3.3 recurring
