4 0

Answer:

a =-6

Step-by-step explanation:

4a+5=2+3.5a

Subtract 3.5a from each side

4a-3.5a+5=2+3.5a-3.5a

.5a +5 = 2

Subtract 5 from each side

.5a +5-5 = 2-5

.5a = -3

Divide each side by .5

.5a/.5 = -3/.5

a =-6

Bob is on his way home in his car. His drive is 16 miles long. He has finished one-fourth of the drive so far. How far has he dr
Georgia [21]

Answer:

He has driven 16 miles so far

Step-by-step explanation:

The unknown in your equation is the total length of Trey's drive, which we will call "x".

From the problem statement, you know that 12 is three-fourths of x so set up the following equation and solve for "x":

3/4(x) = 12

multiply both sides of the equation by 4/3 to isolate "x":

(4/3)(3/4)(x) = (12)(4/3)

therefore

x = (12)(4)/(3) = 16

F(x) = 3x + 5<br> Work out a if f(a)= -13
vekshin1

Answer:

a = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 3x + 5 , then

f(a) = 3a + 5 and f(a) = - 13 , then equating the right sides

3a + 5 = - 13 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

3a = - 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

a = - 6
