Answer:

                   a = -2

Simplifying 5 + -2(4a + 1) + 3a = 13 Reorder the terms: 5 + -2(1 + 4a) + 3a = 13 5 + (1 * -2 + 4a * -2) + 3a = 13 5 + (-2 + -8a) + 3a = 13 Combine like terms: 5 + -2 = 3 3 + -8a + 3a = 13 Combine like terms: -8a + 3a = -5a 3 + -5a = 13 Solving 3 + -5a = 13 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + -5a = 13 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -5a = 13 + -3 -5a = 13 + -3 Combine like terms: 13 + -3 = 10 -5a = 10 Divide each side by '-5'. a = -2

GEOMETRY<br><br> *image is attached above*

Answer:

(-9.5, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio a:b (a to b) of two segments formed by a point of partition, and the endpoints of the original segment, we can calculate the point of partition using this formula:

( \frac{a }{a + b} (x_{2} - x_{1}) + x_{1}, \frac{a}{a + b} (y_{2} - y_{1})+y_{1}).

Given two endpoints of the original segment

→ (-10, -8) [(x₁, y₁)] and (-8, 8) [(x₂, y₂)]

Along with the ratio of the two partitioned segments

→ 1 to 3 = 1:3 [a:b]

Formed by the point that partitions the original segment to create the two partitioned ones

→ (x?, y?)

We can apply this formula and understand how it was derived to figure out where the point of partition is.

Here is the substitution:

x₁ = -10

y₁ = -8

x₂ = -8

y₂ = 8

a = 1

b = 3

( \frac{a }{a + b} (x_{2} - x_{1}) + x_{1}, \frac{a}{a + b} (y_{2} - y_{1})+y_{1}). →

( \frac{(1) }{(1) + (3)} ((-8) - (-10)) + (-10), \frac{(1)}{(1) + (3)} ((8) - (-8))+ (-8)) →

( \frac{1}{4} ((-8) - (-10)) + (-10), \frac{1}{4}((8) - (-8)) + (-8)) →

( \frac{1}{4} (2) + (-10), \frac{1}{4}(16) + (-8)) →

( (\frac{1}{2}) + (-10), (4) + (-8)) →

( (-\frac{19}{2}), (-4)) →

( -\frac{19}{2}, -4) →

*( -9.5, -4)*

Now the reason why this

Suzanne bought 50 apples at the apple orchard. She bought 4 times as many red apples as green apples. How many more red apples t
Natali [406]
Let x = the number of green apples, let 4x = the number of red apples
4x + x = 50         Set up the quation
5x = 50               Combine like terms
----   ----               Divide by 5 on both sides to get x alone
5      5
x = 10 green apples
4x = 4(10) = 40 red apples 

40 - 10 = 30. Suzanne bought 30 more red apples than green apples.
