First we expand the brackets:

-2a + 8 + 6a = 36
4a + 8 = 36

We then need to get the a's onto one side and the numbers onto the other:

4a = 28

We can then divide to get an x by itself:

a = 28/4 = 7

MrRa [10]

Answer:

$28\frac{1}{2}\ papers$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Convert mixed numbers to an improper fractions

$4\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4*2+1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}$

$6\frac{1}{3}=\frac{6*3+1}{3}=\frac{19}{3}$

step 2

we know that

A teacher reviews 9/2 papers per hour

using proportion

Find how many papers will the teacher review in 19/3 hours

Let

x-----> the number of papers

$(9/2)/1=x/(19/3)$

$x=(19/3)(9/2)$

$x=28.5\ papers$

Convert to mixed numbers

$28.5=28\frac{1}{2}\ papers$
