Answer: a=7

<u>Reorder the terms</u>

<u></u>-15 + 3a = 6<u></u>

<u></u>

Solving for variable 'a'.

<u> </u>

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

<u>Add '15' to each side of the equation.</u>

<u></u>-15 + 15 + 3a = 6 + 15<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0 </u>

<u></u>0 + 3a = 6 + 15\\3a = 6 + 15<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Combine like terms: 6 + 15 = 21 </u>

<u></u>3a = 21<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Divide each side by '3'. </u>

<u></u>a = 7<u></u>

Answer:

a=7

Step-by-step explanation:

3a - 15 = 6

3a = 21 -> 6+15

21/3 = 7

Jennifer went to the post office for stamps. She bought the same number of 8-cent stamps and 10-cent stamps. She also bought as
mamaluj [8]
Write it out as a set of equation:
Let x be number of 8 cent stamps, y be 10 cent stamps, and z be 2 cent stamps.
x=y
z=x+y
8x+10y+2z=440
Lets first solve for x:
from x=y and z=2x(from first equation) the last equation is
8x+10x+4x=440
22x=440
x=20
know that x=20, you also know that y=20 as well, since z=x+y, z=40.
So 20 8-cent stamps, 20 10-cent stamps, and 40 2-cent stamps.

Write the equation of the line, in point-slope form. Identify the point (-2, -2) as (x1, y1). Use the box provided or the upload
zimovet [89]

Answer:

  • m = (2-(-2))/(2-(-2)) = 4/4 = 1
  • y +2 = 1(x +2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation for a line with slope m through point (x1, y1) is ...

  y -y1 = m(x -x1)

To find the slope of the line, find the ratio of the difference in y-values of the points to the difference in corresponding x-values. Here, the slope is ...

  m = (2 -(-2))/(2 -(-2)) = 4/4 = 1 . . . work to compute slope

The problem statement tells you x1 = -2, y1 = -2. Putting the numbers in to the point-slope form gives ...

  y -(-2) = 1(x -(-2))

  y + 2 = x + 2 . . . equation form with m, (x1, y1) filled in

__

The answer at the top leaves the slope shown as 1. We don't know how much simplification you are expected to do. Obviously, this <em>could</em> be simplified to y=x, but then the use of (-2, -2) for the point would not be obvious.

Plot the corresponding points for the inverse of the function represented by this table of values. x -4 0 3 7
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) for which

\begin{array}{ccccc}x&-4&0&3&7\\ \\f(x)&9&5&2&-2\end {array}

If you want to plot the corresponding points for the inverse of the function f(x), change f(x) into y:  

\begin{array}{ccccc}x&-4&0&3&7\\ \\y&9&5&2&-2\end {array}

switch x and y

\begin{array}{ccccc}y&-4&0&3&7\\ \\x&9&5&2&-2\end {array}

and then change y into f^{-1}(x).

You get

\begin{array}{ccccc}x&9&5&2&-2\\ \\f^{-1}(x)&-4&0&3&7\end {array}

Now plot these points on the coordinate plane (see attached diagram).

20 POINTS!!! I GIVE BRAINLIEST PLEASE HELP!!!!A circle with a circumference of approximately 15.71 inches drawn inside a square,
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

answer:

5.002 inches

step-by-step explanation:

  • find the diameter of the circle
  • the diameter is the side length of the square since the sides of it are touching the circle

c = 2πr

  • c stands for circumference
  • π stands for pi (or 3.14)
  • r stands for radius

- plug in the values given to find the diameter

c = 2πr

15.71 = 2(3.14)r

15.71 = 6.28r

r = 2.501 (rounded or estimated)

  • now that we have the radius, we can find the diameter by multiplying by 2, since diameter is two times bigger than the radius

diameter = 5.002 (estimated)

  • now, that will be the side length because the diameter = the side length
