Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation: When a= 5, let's substitute all a's with 5 in the expression:

\frac{a^{2}-4 }{a+2}\\\frac{(-5)^{2}-4 }{-5+2}\\\\\frac{25-4}{-3}\\\frac{21}{-3} \\= -7

Solve the following system using elimination:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{2 y - x = 21 | (equation 2)

Add 1/7 × (equation 1) to equation 2:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{0 x+(16 y)/7 = 128/7 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 7/16:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)

Subtract 2 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{7 x+0 y = -35 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 7:
{x+0 y = -5 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)

Collect results:
Answer: {x = -5, y = 8

How to find the perimeter of a diagram
Dimas [21]
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, add the lengths of the rectangle's four sides. If you have only the width and the height, then you can easily find all four sides (two sides are each equal to the height and the other two sides are equal to the width). Multiply both the height and width by two and add the results.

Calculate how much each size per gram, and circle which gives the best value for money. 250g for $2.30, 400g for &3.40, 1Kg
Bezzdna [24]
To do this, we must set up ratios:
Option One:
\frac{2.30}{250g}  \\  \frac{0.0092}{1g}  \\ 0.0092/g
The first options costs only $0.0092/gram (a fraction of a penny)!
Option Two:
\frac{3.40}{400g}  \\  \frac{0.0085}{1g} \\ 0.0085/g
The second option costs only $0.0085/gram (cheaper than option one)!
Option Three: 
This requires a little more work. First, we have to convert the grams into kilograms. For every 1 kg, there is 1,000 g. Therefore, 1,000g costs $5.65. Next, we set up the ratio as usual:
\frac{5.65}{1000g} \\  \frac{0.00565}{1g}  \\ 0.00565/g
The third option costs $0.00565/gram.

Therefore, option three is the cheapest! 

Hope this helps!
