Solve the following equation:
14a – (2a + 9) = {(12a - 18)
a =

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

14a – (2a + 9) = (12a - 18)

Distribute the minus sign

14a – 2a - 9 = (12a - 18)

12a -9 = 12a -18

Subtract 12a from each side

12a -9-12a = 12a-18-12a

-9 = -18

This is not a true statement so there is no solution

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)
