Question

-23=-2a-10+a i dont remeber how to solve??

Answer 1

I think you would need to get like terms together 1st so you have the problem -23=-2a-10a
+2a +2a
which now leaves -23=-8a?
divide by -8 under both which equals 2.875 i would round?

Answer 2

well you have to add like terms so i dont think thats right

Answer 3

you do have to combine like terms so you would combine -2a + a first

Answer 4

would that be -1a ??

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

so then you would have
-23 = -10 - 1a

Answer 7

right now divide

Answer 8

would that be 13?
