To solve the system of equations, we need to find the value of 'a' that satisfies both equations.
Given equations are:
- 7a = -41
- 6 + 2a
First, let's solve the first equation: 7a = -41 Divide both sides by 7: a = -41/7 a = -5.857
Now, let's substitute the value of 'a' in the second equation to check if it satisfies: 6 + 2(-5.857) = 6 - 11.714 = -5.714
So, the value of 'a' that satisfies both equations is approximately -5.857.
