Solve. -3a + 4 + 4a = 7 - 24. ??

Answer 1

Hi,

For this question first, simplify the right hand side of the equation to get:

-3a + 4 + 4a = -17

Now, at this point, simplify the left hand side by combining "like" terms to get:

a + 4 = -17

Next, we need to put on the finishing touch of the problem by subtract 4 from both sides of the equation to get:

a = -21 <=== FINAL ANSWER

I hope that helps you out! Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Sincerely,

Andrew

Answer 2

-3a + 4a + 4 = 7 - 24 7 - 24 = -17
-3a +4a +4 = -17 subtract 4 from both sides
-17 - 4= -21
-3a + 4a = -21 subtract 3a from 4a, gives you:

a = -21

Answer 3

Subtract 4a from -3a to get a.
a+4=7-24

Subtract 24 from 7 to get -17.
a+4=-17

4 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides.
a=-4-17

Subtract 17 from -4 to get -21.
a=-21

Answer 4

-3a + 4 + 4a = 7 - 24
-3a + 4a = 7 - 24 - 4
a = -21

Hope that helps

Answer 5

-3a + 4 + 4a = 7 - 24
4 + 4a - 3a = -17
4 + 1a = -17
1a = -17 - 4
a= -21

Answer 6

a= -17-4
a=-21

Answer 7

a = - 17 - 4
a = - 21

Answer 8

It's your homework, not ours... STUDY! Here's a tip: Just put on one side of the equation the terms that have a variable and on the other one the numbers, then just sum up or substract and divide at the end both sides with the coefficient beside the variable in each question... For the last few questions, you need to distribute the terms with what is inside the ( ) and do what I said before.

Answer 9

a = -21

Answer 10

a+4=-17
a= -21
