Which value of a would make the following statement true? -3(2x + a) = -6x + 15

Your answer is -5.
This is because, if you expand the single bracket, you get -6x -3a, and since the other side of the equals sign is -6x + 15, then you need to do 15 ÷ -3 = -5.

I hope this helps!

You need to find the LCM of 13 and 14. Would you rather use their multiples or their prime factorizations? Explain.
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

I would rather use their multiples.

Step-by-step explanation:

With 13 and 14, neither number has many factors (and few prime factors, for that matter) so factoring would be pretty much useless. If you wanted to use the prime factors of 14 (7 and 2) multiplying either of them by 13 would not give you the LCM. Actually the LCM is just 13*14 which is 182.

Good luck!

Solve for x:<br> 1 1/5x−2 1/3&lt;1/7x+1 1/2
Mashcka [7]

Answer: x

Step-by-step explanation:

1\frac{1}{5}x-2\frac{1}{3}

Add 2\frac{1}{3} on both sides and subtract \frac{1}{7}x on both sides to leave x's on the left side and independent values on the right.

(2\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{7}x) +1\frac{1}{5}x-2\frac{1}{3}

1\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{1}{7}x

Solve the fractions.

1(\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{7})x

1(\frac{(1)(7)-(5)(1)}{(5)(7)} )x

1(\frac{7-5}{35} )x

1(\frac{2}{35} )x

1\frac{2}{35}x

Convert the mixed fraction 1\frac{2}{35} to an improper fraction. You can do this by multiplying 1 times 35 and adding 2.

\frac{37}{35}x

Now use the reciprocal (inverse fraction) and multiply on both sides to isolate x.

(\frac{35}{37}) (\frac{37}{35})x

x

if the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is p=2l+2w, what is the formula for w in terms of p and l
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

(p-2l)/2 = w

Step-by-step explanation:

p=2l+2w


We want to solve for w.

The first step is to subtract 2l from each side

p-2l=2l-2l+2w

p-2l=2w

Then we will divide each side by 2 to isolate w

(p-2l)/2 = 2w/2

(p-2l)/2 = w
