@dude

Answer 2

we can subtract 0.3 from both sides to isolate a

so a = -2 - 0.3 --> simplify that to get your answer

Answer 3

-2.3?

Answer 4

good

Answer 5

Solve for a.

a+(−4)=−13

Answer 6

same idea

4 is being subtracted from a, so add 4 to each side to cancel that out

Answer 7

-17

Answer 8

-13 + 4 = ?

Answer 9

its (-4)

Answer 10

yes, that's why we are adding 4 to each side to cancel out the subtraction

a+(-4) = a - 4

Answer 12

-9

Answer 13

good, a = -9

Answer 14

Solve for x.

x+29=−11

Answer 15

29 is being added to x, so subtract 29 to cancel it out

Answer 16

29 - (-11)

Answer 17

right?

Answer 18

x + 29 - 29 = - 11 - 29

simplify

Answer 19

-40

Answer 20

good

Answer 21

x=(-40)

Answer 22

yes

Answer 23

Solve for a.

a+(−1.2)=−5.5

Answer 24

since 1.2 is being subtracted from each side, add 1.2 to each side to cancel it out

Answer 25

1.2 + 5.5

Answer 26

the right side is -5.5

-5.5 + 1.2 = ?
