Answer:
a = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
When you add the given value for a with 7, the resulting answer must be less than 11.
In this case, if: a = 3
Plug in 3 for a in the equation:
7 + a < 11
7 + 3 < 11
10 < 11 (True).
A) a = 3 is your answer.

Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the -2 into the parentheses and your equation becomes -8x - 8 - 3x - 2 = 34
Then combine the -8x and -3x as well as the -8 and -2 to have -11x - 10 = 34
Add 10 to both sides and get -11x = 44
Divide both sides by -11 for x=-4
The answer is No, they are not proportional. This is because 8/42 is not equal to 20/105.
Answer:
D. The constant 250 represents the average collection when no seniors ride.
Step-by-step explanation:
A -- the entire expression represents the driver's pay, not just the constant 250.
B -- collections continue to increase as x goes up, so 250 is the minimum, not the maximum.
C -- x is the number of seniors; 250 is in units of collections (dollars?), not numbers of seniors.
D -- indeed, 250 is the "y-intercept" of the expression, hence the collection when no seniors ride.
