-2(a-8)+6a=36 \\ \\ -2a + 16 + 6a = 36 \\ \\ 4a + 16 = 36 \\ \\ 4a = 36 - 16 \\ \\ 4a = 20 \\ \\ a =  \frac{20}{4} \\ \\ a = 5 \\ \\

The final result is: a = 5.

Additive inverse of −2, additive identity of −5, additive inverse of 3, multiplicative identity of 19, and multiplicative invers
monitta

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Additive inverse of −2

  • the additive inverse of a number a is the number that, when added to 'a', yields zero. This number is also known as the opposite (number), sign change, and negation.
  • So the Additive inverse of -2 is 2. ∴ -2+2=0

b) Additive identity of −5

  • Additive identity is the value when added to a number, results in the original number. When we add 0 to any real number, we get the same real number.
  • -5 + 0 = -5. Therefore, 0 is the additive identity of any real number.

c) additive inverse of 3

  • Two numbers are additive inverses if they add to give a sum of zero. 3 and -3 are additive inverses since 3 + (-3) = 0. -3 is the additive inverse of 3.

d). multiplicative identity of 19

  • an identity element (such as 1 in the group of rational numbers without 0) that in a given mathematical system leaves unchanged any element by which it is multiplied
  • Multiplicative identity if 19 is 1 only, since 19 x 1 = 19.

e) multiplicative inverse of 7

  • Dividing by a number is equivalent to multiplying by the reciprocal of the number. Thus, 7 ÷7=7 × 1⁄7 =1. Here, 1⁄7 is called the multiplicative inverse of 7.

d)  | 11-5|×|1-5|

  • | 11-5|×|1-5| ⇒ I6I×I-4I ⇒ 6×4 ⇒ 24

What is the rate of change of the function y = − 1/4 x + 1
scoray [572]

Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The rate of change is also known as the slope.

Standard equation of a line: y = mx + b

  • y: output
  • m:  slope
  • x: input
  • b: y-intercept

So, if we match the standard form to the given function:

  • y = mx + b
  • y = -1/4x + 1

-1/4 is m, or the rate of change.

Kasey has 8 packages of gelatin. She plans to fill molds that each take 1 1/3 packages of gelatin. Each mold can be divided into
Ipatiy [6.2K]

if in total Kasey has 8 packaged of gelatin and it takes 1 1/3 for each mold which equals 6 servings than you could work it out as

8 divided by 1 1/3=6.015 since its not a whole number than you'd want to go down to just 6 resulting in Kasey creating 6 molds

6 molds times 6 servings= 36 servings
