Firstly, you've got to expand the brackets, this becomes;
8a-4= -10a+ 50
You've then got to eliminate the -10a and you do this by adding 10a to both sides,
This then becomes 18a-4=50
You've then got to add 4, to eliminate this, which then becomes 18a=54
You've then got to divide both sides by 18, and this becomes 3.
Therefor, a=3
Hope this helps :)
Answer: x = -5/2 and x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x + 5)2 = 4x (x + 5) +25
4x + 10 = 4x² + 20x + 25
[minus 4x on both sides.]
10 = 4x² + 16x + 25
[minus 10 on both sides.]
0 = 4x² + 16x + 15
ac = 4(15) = 60,then find the factors that add up to 16, which is 6 and 10.
0 = 4x² + 6x + 10x + 15
0 = 2x(2x + 3) + 5(2x + 3)
0 = (2x + 5)(2x + 3)
2x + 5 = 0 2x + 3 = 0
2x = -5 2x = -3
x = -5/2 x = -3/2
we know that
The measure of the interior angle is the half-summit of the arcs that comprise it and its opposite
so

therefore
the answer is
the measure of arc TU is equal to 
One and four hundred thirteen thousandths in standard form would be <u>1.413 x 10^0.</u>
First, subtract 10.2 from 8.5
8.5 - 10.2 = -1.7
Next, add -7.4 to -1.7
-7.4 (+) - 1.7 = -9.1
Your final answer is -9.1
