2(a+5)=-2(2a+3)

2 (a + 5) = - 2 (2 a + 3)

a = - \frac{8}{3}

Decimal Notation

a = - 2.66666 \dots

Solution steps

2 (a + 5) = - 2 (2 a + 3)

Expand

2 (a + 5) : 2 a + 10

Expand

- 2 (2 a + 3) : - 4 a - 6

2 a + 10 = - 4 a - 6

Move

10

to the right side

2 a = - 4 a - 16

Move

4 a

to the left side

6 a = - 16

Divide both sides by

6

a = - \frac{8}{3}

\frac{3 - 2 x}{5} < 1

6 x + 8 < 3 x + 4

\frac{\frac{5}{12}}{( - \frac{15}{16} )}

0.01

\frac{3}{2 x + 5} \leq 0
