Solve for a
5+14a=9a-5

Steps to solve:

5 + 14a = 9a - 5

~Subtract 5 to both sides

5 - 5 + 14a = 9a + (-5) - 5

~Simplify

14a = 9a - 10

~Subtract 9a to both sides

14a - 9a = 9a - 9a - 10

~Simplify

5a = -10

~Divide 5 to both sides

5a/5 = -10/5

~Simplify

a = -2

Best of Luck!

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

consider an orange peel: if you want to try and lay it flat, you have to stretch it, we know exactly how things are being stretched or squashed at any given point. we have many different map projections because each has different patterns of some projections can even preserve certain features of the earth without
