4-5a=a-13

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

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-=-?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

typo 17 not 16

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

7y-4=35-6y

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

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

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=3

OpenStudy (prettygirl_shynice):

your right

OpenStudy (anonymous):
