how do you solve 6x-5(a+ -5)?

Answer 1

just multiply!!!!
=6x-5a+25

Answer 2

how do you solve 6x-5(a+ -5)?

Here you have two variables, and maybe a number part.

First, distribute then combine the variable by variable.

6x - 5*a --5*5 =

6x - 5a + 25 = here remember negative negative will get you positive, then

6x - 5a + 25 =

here you have your x variable, your a variable and your number part.

you can arrange and solve for the variable depend on your instructions.
Answer: 6x - 5a + 25
~~~~~~~~~`
1) solving for a
6x - 5a + 25 = 0

6x + 25 = 5a plus 5a on both sides

( 6x + 25 )/5 = a divide 5 on both sides

here you can simplify as

6x/5 + 5 = a

or a = (6x/5) + 5

Answer: a = (6x/5) + 5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
2) solving for x
6x - 5a + 25 = 0

6x-5a = -25 subtract 25 from both sides

6x = -25 + 5a plus 5a from both sides

x = (-25 + 5a)/6 here you should be able to receive full credits

in case you want to simplify

x = (-25/6) + (5a/6)

Answer:x = (-25/6) + (5a/6)


*still confused? write back

Answer 3

= 6x -5a +25

Answer 4

What does it equal?
6x-5a+25 = 0?
What are you solving for???
6x=5a-25
x=(5a-25)/6

BUT
5a=6x+25
a=(6x+25)/5
