frist Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4−5a=a−13
Simplify: (Hide steps)
4+−5a=a+−13
−5a+4=a−13
Step 2: Subtract a from both sides.
−5a+4−a=a−13−a
−6a+4=−13
Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.
−6a+4−4=−13−4
−6a=−17
OpenStudy (triciaal):
put the terms with the variables/unknown on one side and the constant on the other.
simplify when possible
divide by the coefficient of the variable.
remember this is an equation so whatever you do to one side also do to the other to maintain the balance
OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):
Step 4: Divide both sides by -6.
-16a/6-=-?

okay imm redy srry
OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
7y−4=35−6y
Simplify: (Hide steps)
7y+−4=35+−6y
7y−4=−6y+35
Step 2: Add 6y to both sides.
7y−4+6y=−6y+35+6y
13y−4=35
Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.
13y−4+4=35+4
13y=39
Step 4: Divide both sides by 13.
OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):
13y/13=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
=y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
39/13=3
