Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Simplify the equation:
\$ 7((((5a-4)/4) + 9)/5) = 2 \$

2

Step

Dividing "7" on both sides

\$ (\cancel(7)^1((((5a-4)/4) + 9)/5))/\cancel(7)^1 = 2/7 \$

3

Step

After cancellation

\$(((5a-4)/4) + 9)/5 = 2/7 \$

4

Step

Multiplying "5" on both sides we get

\$ (((5a-4)/4) + 9) /\cancel5^1\times\cancel5^1 = 2/7\times5 \$

5

Step

After cancellation we get

\$(5a-4)/4 + 9 = 10/7 \$

6

Step

Taking LCM as "4"

\$(5a - 4 + (9\times4))/4 = 10/7 \$

7

Step

After simplification

\$ (5a - 4 + 36)/4 = 10/7 \$

8

Step

After Simplification

\$ (5a + 32)/4 = 10/7 \$

9

Step

Multiplying "4" on both sides

\$ (5a + 32)/\cancel(4)^1\times\cancel(4)^1 = 10/7\times4 \$

10

Step

After Cancellation

\$ 5a + 32 = 40/7 \$

11

Step

Adding "-32" on both sides

\$ 5a + \cancel(32) - \cancel(32) = 40/7 - 32 \$

12

Step

After cancellation

\$ 5a = 40/7-32 \$

13

Step

Taking LCM as "7"

\$ 5a = (40 - (32\times7))/7 \$

14

Step

After simplification

\$ 5a = (40 - 224)/7 \$

15

Step

After adding

\$ 5a = -184/7 \$

16

Step

Dividing "5" on both sides

\$ (\cancel5^1a)/\cancel5^1 = -184/(7\times5) \$

17

Step

After Cancellation

\$ a = -184/35 \$

Answer

A
