а) Решим уравнение $$-8(11 – 2a) + 40 = 3(5a – 4)$$.
$$ -8(11 - 2a) + 40 = 3(5a - 4) $$
$$ -88 + 16a + 40 = 15a - 12 $$
$$ 16a - 48 = 15a - 12 $$
$$ 16a - 15a = -12 + 48 $$
$$ a = 36 $$
Ответ: $$a = 36$$
б) Решим уравнение $$7(-3(m – 2) – m) – 12 = 4(5 – 3m) – 4$$.
$$ 7(-3(m - 2) - m) - 12 = 4(5 - 3m) - 4 $$
$$ 7(-3m + 6 - m) - 12 = 20 - 12m - 4 $$
$$ 7(-4m + 6) - 12 = 16 - 12m $$
$$ -28m + 42 - 12 = 16 - 12m $$
$$ -28m + 30 = 16 - 12m $$
$$ -28m + 12m = 16 - 30 $$
$$ -16m = -14 $$
$$ m = \frac{-14}{-16} = \frac{7}{8} = 0,875 $$
Ответ: $$m = 0,875$$
