Question

42-14a=-15a+5

Answer 1

1. Get like terms all on one side. So you would do -14a + -15a to get it on the right side. You would get 42= -1a +5.
2. Next, you need to get the 5 over to the 42. 42-5= 37. So, 37=-1a.
3. The variable (a) cannot be negative. So, you divide everything by a -1.
You end up with : -37=a as your final answer.
