Answer:

a = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for 'a', isolate 'a'.

      a - 15 = 4a - 3

Subtract '4a' from both sides,

a - 4a  -15 = -3

Combine like terms,

     -3a - 15 = -3

Add 15 to both sides,

        -3a = -3 + 15

         -3a = 12

Divide both sides by (-3),

            a = 12 ÷ (-3)

           \sf \boxed{\bf a = (-4)}

9(x + 2) = 5 - 2x - 1)
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

9(x+2)=5−2(x−1)

9x+18=5−2(x−1)

9x+18=5−2x+2

9x+18=7−2x

9x+18+2x=7

11x+18=7

11x=7−18

11x=−11

x=  11 /−11

​x=-1

Choose what the expressions below best represent within the context of the word problem. If Sarah is 24 years younger than her m
KIM [24]
Hello Kiddo. 

This question is a bit confusing to me, but I think I grasped the concept. 
1. x best represents Sarah's mom's age. 
2. x - 24 best represents Sarah's mom's age minus how much younger Sarah is than her mom. 
3. The expression would look a little like this:
2x-24 = 68
    + 24  +24
2x = 92 
/2     /2
x = 46.

Which means, Sarah is 22 and her mom is 46 years of age. 
If you need more clarification, I'd be more than happy to elaborate further.

Which inequality does the graph represent?<br>1. x&gt;17<br>2.x&lt;17<br>3.x&lt;_17<br>4.x&gt;_17​
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

1. x > 17

Step-by-step explanation:

When the point on the graph is an open circle you are going to be using < or > as an open circle means greater than or less than

Immediately we can eliminate number 3 and 4

When the line is going in the direction of the right than the inequality sign will face the variable (x)

the numbers are getting larger meaning that x is greater than the constant (17)

Hence, your answer is x > 17

Extra notes:

when the point on the graph is a closed circle ( filled in ) then you will use ≤ or ≥ as a closed circle means greater than or equal to or less than or equal to
