Answer:
a = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
2(a + 7) = 5a - 13
We want to bring a to one side, I will choose to bring it to the right
First, expand the bracket by multiplying 2 with a + 7
2a + 14 = 5a - 13
Bring the -13 to the left by adding 13 to both sides
2a + 14 + 13 = 5a - 13 + 13
Simplify
2a + 27 = 5a
Bring the 2a to the right by subtracting 2a from both sides
2a - 2a + 27 = 5a - 2a
Simplify
27 = 5a - 2a
27 = 3a
Bring the 3 to the left by dividing both sides by 3
27÷3 = a
Simplify
a = 9
One pound is 16oz. So you take 54 and minus it by 16 until you get something less that 16. Then you take how many times you subtracted it, and that is how many pounds. Then you take the "leftover" number and they you have your answer.
so Sarita used 3 pounds and 8 oz.
