Question

6(a+5) = 5(a+6) -7
okay um Im confused
when you plug it in
6a+30=5a+30-7
1a and then I don't know what to do for the rest.. does the 30 cancel out? and is the answer -7?

Answer 1

You take -30 on each side of the equation, leaving you with: 6a=5a-7
Then I would subtract by -5a on each side --> 6a-5a=-7 --> a=-7

Answer 2

Answer 3
