distribute first...
\[\implies8a - 4 = -10a + 50\]
does that help?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no can you do it step by step its compicated
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8a - 1 = -10a + 50
18a = 51
a = 51/18
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sr a look wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8a - 4 = -10a + 50
18a = 46
a = 3

4(2a-1)=-10(a-5)
take 4 times the first term in () and then times second term
4(2a)-4(1)
8a-4
now you do the right side of the equal sign

i got -15 when i multiplied by -10
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
-10 x -5 is +50
-10 - 5 is -15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
huh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you should set it up like this:
-10(a-5)
-10(a)-(-10)(5)
so then what

it = to -10-15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-10a+50
you are forgeting about the variable
-10 times first term (a) and then -10 times second term(-5)
so now you have
8a-4=-10a+50
so now get like terms togeher and whole numbers together
example:
2a-5=-8a+25
2a+8a-5+5=8a-8a+25+5
10a=30 then divide by 10
a=30/10
a=3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what will you get
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but a anegative times a negative is a egative and it subtract
okay this is what i did
4(2a-1)=-10(a-5)
8a-4=-10a-15
+10a +10a
18a -4=-15
+4 +4
18a=-11
thats up to where i stopped cuz i don,t understand
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you have -15 but -10(-5) is -50 so corredt this and then show me your work

OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry that +50
OpenStudy (anonymous):
on the calculator it said -15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because in calculator you have to -10(-5) try this or(-10)(-5) both should give you 50
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yep got it
