Solve for \( a \).

\(-11 - 5a = 6(5a + 4)\)

Asked by Lizziebruhh

Answer (3)

-11-5a=6(5a+4) .... Distribute the 6 to 5a and 4 -11-5a=30a+24 .... Subtract 30a from both sides -11-5a-30a=24 .... Add 11 from both sides -5a-30a=24+11 .... Add like terms -35a=35 .... Divide -35a from both sides a=-1 .... Final answer

To solve the equation − 11 − 5 a = 6 ( 5 a + 4 ) , we distributed and combined like terms, ultimately finding that a = − 1 .
