Two questions plz asap. 1.what is the value of a? 2. whats the value of n

1. What is the value of a?

-2(a - 8) + 6a = 36

Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, distribute -2 to all terms within the parenthesis

-2(a - 8) = -2a + 16

-2a + 16 + 6a = 36

Simplify. Combine like terms

6a - 2a = 4a

4a + 16 = 36

Isolate the a. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

Subtract 16 from both sides

4a + 16 (-16) = 36 (-16)

4a = 36 - 16

4a = 20

Divide 4 from both sides

4a/4 = 20/4

a = 20/4

a = 5

5 is your answer for a

2. What is the value of n in (3n + 6)/3 = 15

Remember to do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note the equal sign. First, multiply 3 to both sides

(3n + 6)/3(3) = 15(3)

3n + 6 = 45

Next, subtract 6 from both sides

3n + 6 (-6) = 45 (-6)

3n = 45 - 6

3n = 39

Finally, isolate the n. Divide 3 from both sides

3n/3 = 39/3

n = 39/3

n = 13

13 is your answer for n

hope this helps

use formula for the circle a=3.14

you probably already have the answer but anyways it's b. 15.0
