Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

a + 6a - 14 = 3a + 6a

Step 2: Solve for a

Combine like terms:                    7a - 14 = 9aSubtract 7a on both sides:          -14 = 2aDivide 2 on both sides:               -7 = aRewrite:                                         a = -7

Step 3: Check

Plug in a into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in a:                   -7 + 6(-7) - 14 = 3(-7) + 6(-7)Multiply:                              -7 - 42 - 14 = -21 - 42Subtract:                             -49 - 14 = -63Subtract:                             -63 = -63

Here we see that -63 is equal to -63.

∴ a = -7 is a solution of the equation.

Step 4: Define equation

-12 - 4x = 8x + 4(1 - 7x)

Step 5: Solve for x

Distribute 4:                              -12 - 4x = 8x + 4 - 28xCombine like terms:                 -12 - 4x = -20x + 4Add 20x on both sides:            -12 + 16x = 4Add 12 on both sides:               16x = 16Divide 16 on both sides:            x = 1

Step 6: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                    -12 - 4(1) = 8(1) + 4(1 - 7(1))Multiply:                               -12 - 4 = 8 + 4(1 - 7)Subtract:                              -16 = 8 + 4(-6)Multiply:                               -16 = 8 - 24Subtract:                              -16 = -16

Here we see that -16 does indeed equal -16.

∴ x = 1 is a solution of the equation.

Idon’t exactly understand but i think dbc=rst
