7a-9=12
Add 9 to both sides:
7a= 21
Divide both sides by7
A= 3
Answer:
The value of a is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to add 9 to both sides to eliminate -9 on the left side :
[tex]7a - 9 = 12[/tex]
[tex]7a - 9 + 9 = 12 + 9[/tex]
[tex]7a = 21[/tex]
In order, to find a, you have to divide it by 7 :
[tex]a = 21 \div 7[/tex]
[tex]a = 3[/tex]
