Answer:

a = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a multi-step equation using the distributive property and rational coefficents (fractions).  The first step is to complete the distributive property on both sides of the equation and multiply each term in the expression in parenthesis by the constant on the outside.  (3/4 x 2a) - (3/4 x 6) +1/2 = (2/5 x 3a) + (2/5 x 20).  When we multiply and simplify, we get 3/2a - 9/2 + 1/2 = 6/5a + 8.  Next step is to combine like terms:  3/2a  - 8/2 = 6/5a +8.  We then need to isolate the variable by using inverse operations:  3/10a = 12, then solve for 'a' by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal (10/3) to get a = 40.

The total area of two square windows is 1,025 in.^2. each side of the larger window is 5 in. longer than the sides of the smalle
vampirchik [111]
The area of a square is expressed as:

Area = s^2

We are given the area of both windows. We will use this value for the calculations. We set s as the side of the larger window and a for the smaller window.

Total area = Area larger + area smaller
1025 = s^2 + a^2

Since it was said that the side of the larger window, s is 5 in longer than the side of the smaller window, a (s = 5+a) then:

<span>1025 = s^2 + a^2
</span>1025 = (5+a)^2 + a^2

simplifying we obtain,

a = 20 inches
