8a - 4 = 25 + 6 (a - 8)
(distribute the 6)
8a - 4 = 25 + 6a - 48
(combine like terms 25 - 48)
8a - 4 = 6a - 23
( subtract 6a from both sides)
2a - 4 = -23
(add 4 to both sides)
2a = -19
(divide both sides by 2)
a = - 9.5
////CHECK/////
8 (-9.5) - 4 = 25 + 6 ( -9.5 -8)
(plug each side into a calculator)
-80 = -80
FINAL ANSWER:
a = -9.5
Answer:
I) There are 
hours in 1 year.
II) The exact number of hours in one year is 
hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : 1 hour=3600 seconds
1 year = 31556952 seconds.
To find :
I) Use scientific notation to estimate the number of hours in one year.
1 day = 24 hours
1 year = 365 days
So, number of hours in one year is given by,
In scientific notation,
So, there are hours in 1 year.
II) 1 year = 31556952 seconds.
1 hour = 3600 seconds
In one year the number of hour is given by,
In scientific notation,
So, the exact number of hours in one year is hours.
III) In two or more complete sentences, compare your answers to parts I and II. In your comparison, discuss similarities and differences.
- The exact numbers of hours using 365 days is 8760 which is written as in scientific notation but using the given data we get hours.
- Comparing these answers the first one has only 3 significant figures and the second answer has six significant figures.
- If we round these we get
hours which has two significant numbers.
1,000. 4,200 / 21 = 200. 5 * 200 = 1,000
Answer:
Approximately $14.20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of the groceries be represented by c, then;
cost price + VAT = c + (5% of c)
To get the value of the cost, c, that would make him spend as close to $15. Since the tax is 5% of the cost price, then the cost price would be close to $15.
Let c = $14.20, then;
So that,
c + (5% of c) = 14.20 + (5% of 14.20)
= 14.20 + 0.71
= $14.91
Thus, the greatest total cost of groceries Darla can spend in order to spend as close to $15 as possible is approximately $14.20.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
OK so lets do it together.
2x = -2x + 8
Subtract 8 from both sides
2x - 8 = -2x
Add 2x to both sides
4x - 8 = 0
Add 8 to both sides
4x = 8
Divide each side by 4
x = 2
Check:
4 = -4 + 8
4 = 4
correct
