PLEASE HELP ME!! 6a + 5a = -11

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

combine 6a + 5a first...do you know how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

think of 6a + 5a like 6 + 5...just put an a at the end

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 11a?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yes.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

so you have 11a = -11 now divide both sides by 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=1?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

nope. remember...negative divided by positive is negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A- -1?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

if you meant a = -1 then yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

welcome
