Solve the equation and state a reason for each step.
23+11a-2c=12-2c

Simplifying

23 + 11a + -2c = 12 + -2c

Add '2c' to each side of the equation.

23 + 11a + -2c + 2c = 12 + -2c + 2c

Combine like terms: -2c + 2c = 0

23 + 11a + 0 = 12 + -2c + 2c

23 + 11a = 12 + -2c + 2c

Combine like terms: -2c + 2c = 0

23 + 11a = 12 + 0

23 + 11a = 12

Solving

23 + 11a = 12

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-23' to each side of the equation.

23 + -23 + 11a = 12 + -23

Combine like terms: 23 + -23 = 0

0 + 11a = 12 + -23

11a = 12 + -23

Combine like terms: 12 + -23 = -11

11a = -11

Divide each side by '11'.

a = -1

Simplifying

a = -1

given that triangle abc is transformed two times to get triangle

a"b"c"

first abc is transformed in to a'b'c' as follows:

the coordinates of a are (1,-1) and transformed into a'(-1,1)

similarly b (4,-2) became b'(-4,2) and

c(7,-2) became c'(-7,2)

i.e. (x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

this is nothing but reflection about a point here origin.

thus first transformation is reflection on the origin.

next is exactly shifting 3 units down
