Answer:
a = 3.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the varible by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
I'm assuming you need to evaluate/simplify the equation, so you need to isolate/get x by itself in the equation:
2(3x + 1) = 11 Divide by 2 on both sides
3x + 1 = 
[11/2 or 5.5] Subtract by 1 on both sides
[make the denominator the same to combine fractions]
3x = 
Divide by 3 on both sides
x = 
Answer:
17.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: 1 inch = 2.54 cm is an exact converion, while 1 mile=1.6km is only approximate.
Using conversion
1 inch=2.54 cm
1 mile = 1760*3*12 = 63360 in = 160934.4 cm
If 1 inch = 1 mile, then
2.54 cm : 1 mile = 1.609344 km
1 cm : 0.6336 km (exactly), or
1 cm : 0.6 km (approximately)
Using both conversions:
1 inch = 2.54 cm : 1 mile = 1.6 km
=>
2.54 cm : 1.6 km
1 cm : 1.6/2.54=0.6299 km (approximately), or
1 cm : 0.6 km (approximately)
