Answer:
A = 3.4
Step-by-step explanation:
235 = 7(4 + 6a) - 3
you're trying to make both sides equal, that means whatever is happening on one side must happen on the other. to take minus 3 out of the equation you add 3 to both sides
235 + 3 = 7(4 + 6a) -3 + 3
238 = 7(4 + 6a)
next add within the parenthesis and multiply that by 7
238 = 7(4 + 6a)
238 = 7 × 10a
238 = 70a
next divide both sides by 70
238 ÷ 70 = 70a ÷ 70
3.4 = a
Answer: For #5, a = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's open the parenthesis.
235 = 7 (4 + 6a) - 3
235 = 28 + 42a - 3
Next, subtract 28 by 3 on the right side.
235 = 28 + 42a - 3
235 = 25 + 42a
Then, we'll subtract both sides by 25.
235 - 25 = 25 - 25 + 42a
210 = 42a
Finally, let's divide both sides by 42!
210 / 42 = 42a/42
5 = a
So, a = 5.
