To solve this equation, you first need to get all the a's onto one side, because you want "a =", so you can add 2a
8 + 6a = -2a + 24
+ 2a
8 + 8a = 24
a is still not on its own yet, so we need to subtract 8 and then divide by 8:
8 + 8a = 24
- 8
8a = 16
÷ 8
a = 2
So your answer is a = 2, I hope this helps!

You group the like terms together
6a+2a=24-8
8a=16
a=16÷8
a=2

Gulf gully and jump rope road are a pretty far distance.If the scale for the map is 0.5 inches=2.3 miles,what is the actual dist

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

12 cm = 21.62 miles

6 cm = 11.04 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, set up a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by using corresponding values. We write a ratio of $\frac{map}{real world}$ and simplify.

We know $\frac{map}{real world}=\frac{0.5in}{2.3 miles}$ . We know the distance on the map is 12 cm and 6 cm whish converts to 4.7 inches and 2.4 inches. We can write $\frac{4.7in}{xmiles}$ and $\frac{2.4in}{xmiles}$

We set them equal.

$\frac{0.5}{2.3}=\frac{4.7}{x}$

and

$\frac{0.5}{2.3}=\frac{2.4}{x}$

To solve each proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

$2.3(4.7)=0.5(x)\\10.81=0.5x\\\frac{10.81}{0.5}=\frac{0.5x}{0.5} \\21.62 miles=x$

and

$2.3(2.4)=0.5(x)\\5.52=0.5x\\\frac{5.52}{0.5}=\frac{0.5x}{0.5} \\11.04 miles=x$

Jenny and Natalie are selling cheesecakes for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy chocolate cakes and vanilla cakes. Jenny so

IrinaVladis [17]

The cost of 1 chocolate cake is $ 6 and cost of 1 vanilla cake is $ 7

Solution:

Let "c" be the cost of 1 chocolate cake

Let "v" be the cost of 1 vanilla cake

Jenny sold 14 chocolate cakes and 5 vanilla cakes for 119 dollars

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

14 x cost of 1 chocolate cake + 5 x cost of 1 vanilla cake = 119

$14 \times c + 5 \times v=119$

14c + 5v = 119 ------- eqn 1

Natalie sold 10 chocolate cakes and 10 vanilla cakes for 130 dollars

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

10 x cost of 1 chocolate cake + 10 x cost of 1 vanilla cake = 130

$10 \times c + 10 \times v = 130$

10c + 10v = 130 -------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Multiply eqn 1 by 2

28c + 10v = 238 ------ eqn 3

Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3

28c + 10v = 238

10c + 10v = 130

( - ) --------------------------

18c = 108

c = 6

Substitute c = 6 in eqn 1

14(6) + 5v = 119

84 + 5v = 119

5v = 119 - 84

5v = 35

v = 7

Thus cost of 1 chocolate cake is $ 6 and cost of 1 vanilla cake is $ 7

Find the value of x if 212x5 is a multiple of 3 and 11 please find out now guys HELP!

sammy [17]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number 212x5 is a multiple of 3, the sum of the digits needs to be a multiple of 3, so we have:

2 + 1 + 2 + x + 5 = 10 + x

The value of x can be 2, 5 or 8

If the number is a multiple of 11, we have to calculate the first number minus the second, plus the third, minus the fourth... and so on, and the result needs to be a multiple of 11. So we have:

2 - 1 + 2 - x + 5 = 8 - x

x needs to be 8, so we have 8 - 8 = 0, that is a multiple of 11.

So the value of x is 8.
