Answer:
a=-13
Step-by-step explanation:
16−5a+2a−1=41−a
16-1-41 = 5a-2a-a
-26 = 2a
a= -26/2
a=-13
Answer:
2h-2=92 and h-2=92-h.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hannah, h, is the older sibling and their ages are consecutive odd integers. This means that Anthony's age will be 2 less than Hannah's, or h-2.
The sum of these would be h+(h-2), giving us the equation h+(h-2)=92.
Combining like terms we would have the first correct choice, 2h-2=92.
Our first equation can be transformed, however, to have (h-2) by itself. To do this, we would subtract h from both sides, giving us h-2=92-h.
Answer:
second one
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(8 * x) + 2x = 60
8x + 2x = 60
10x = 60
/10 /10
x = 6
8 is a constant that is being multiplied by an unknown number which we will name x. It is then being added to two times the unknown number(x), so we multiply x by 2, which is 2x. The final product will be 60, so in the equation it'll then equal 60.
We consider "a number" to be a variable that withholds an unknown value, which is x (or any other variable you prefer).
