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.

Firdavs [7]

Answer: 23.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the acute angle at the base of the triangle:

180° - 90° - 40° = 50°

Find side x:

$\dfrac{sin \: 90^{o} }{31} =\dfrac{sin \: 50^{o} }{x}\\\\sin \: 90^{o} \cdot x=sin \: 50^{o} \cdot 31\\\\sin \: 90^{o} =1\\sin \: 50^{o} \approx 0.766\\1 \cdot x =0.766 \cdot 31\\x=23.746\\23.746 \approx 23.7$

Alex sold 165 raffle tickets, which was about 70% of the number of tickets sold by his brother Zane. Approximately how many tick

Len [333]

Answer:

115.5 tickets sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the percent of something is the same as multiplying by that percent as a decimal. So, 70% = 0.70.

0.70 x 165 = 115.5 tickets sold.
