(22)/(7-a)= 2/(a+5)

\frac{22}{7 - a} = \frac{2}{a + 5}

a = - 4

Solution steps

\frac{22}{7 - a} = \frac{2}{a + 5}

Cross multiply

22 a + 110 = 14 - 2 a

Move

110

to the right side

22 a = - 2 a - 96

Move

2 a

to the left side

24 a = - 96

Divide both sides by

24

a = - 4

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

a = 7, a = - 5

Combine undefined points with solutions:

a = - 4

\frac{2 x - 1}{x + 3} = \frac{4}{2}

\frac{30}{35} = \frac{150}{x}

\frac{10}{x} = - \frac{10}{3 x} - 4

- \frac{7}{y} + 3 = 3

\frac{n}{θ} = 0
