15(25-5a)=4-a
375-75a=4-a
Add 75a to both sides
375= 4+74a
Subtract 4 from both sides
371=74a
Divide both by 74
5.01=a

Answer:

The value of the equation for a is 371/74 or 5.0135.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

15(25-5a)=4-a

We need to solve the provided equation for a.

Open the parentheses.

375-75a=4-a

Add a to both side.

375-75a+a=4-a+a

375-74a=4

Subtract 375 from both the sides.

375-375-74a=4-375

-74a=-371

Divide both the sides by -74.

a=\frac{371}{74}

Hence, the value of the equation for a is 371/74 or 5.0135.

Explain two methods for solving an equation. Give an example.
svlad2 [7]

For solving system of equations, we can use either substitution where we plug one equation into the other, or elimination where we combine the equations.


- Using elimination, you would to eliminate one variable from both equations, so you automatically would get one equation with one variable!


- Using substitution means you are going to solve one equation for one variable and substitute with its value in the other equation in order to get also an equation with one variable.



Let's take an example ...

y+x=2            and      y-2x = 1

<span>Using <span>elimination, we need to subtract these two equation; one from the other...

y+x=2
-
y-2x=1
-----------
0+3x=1

then x=1/3       

and then substitute into any equation to get y-value</span></span>
y+x=2
y+1/3 = 2        >>>>>    y=5/3



NOW...<span>Using substitution
</span>y+x=2            and      y-2x = 1 >>(y=1+2x)

Plug (y=1+2x) into y+x=2    and solve for x
y+x=2
(1+2x) + x =2
1+3x = 2
3x=1

again (and for sure) x = 1/3

plug in x=1/3 into any of the equations above to get y:
y+x=2
y+1/3=2
y=5/3

I hope you got the idea

) find a vector parallel to the line of intersection of the planes 5x − y − 6z = 0 and x + y + z = 1.
snow_tiger [21]
The cross product of the normal vectors of two planes result in a vector parallel to the line of intersection of the two planes.

Corresponding normal vectors of the planes are
<5,-1,-6> and <1,1,1>

We calculate the cross product as a determinant of (i,j,k) and the normal products

    i   j   k
   5 -1 -6
   1  1  1

=(-1*1-(-6)*1)i -(5*1-(-6)1)j+(5*1-(-1*1))k
=5i-11j+6k
=<5,-11,6>

Check orthogonality with normal vectors using scalar products
(should equal zero if orthogonal)
<5,-11,6>.<5,-1,-6>=25+11-36=0
<5,-11,6>.<1,1,1>=5-11+6=0

Therefore <5,-11,6> is a vector parallel to the line of intersection of the two given planes.

Solve for x 5x - 10 = -10​
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

the answer is x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation:

5x = 0

Divide both side of the equation by 5.

x = 0

Therefore, the answer is x = 0
