Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a + 7) = 5a - 13

We want to bring a to one side, I will choose to bring it to the right

First, expand the bracket by multiplying 2 with a + 7

2a + 14 = 5a - 13

Bring the -13 to the left by adding 13 to both sides

2a + 14 + 13 = 5a - 13 + 13

Simplify

2a + 27 = 5a

Bring the 2a to the right by subtracting 2a from both sides

2a - 2a + 27 = 5a - 2a

Simplify

27 = 5a - 2a

27 = 3a

Bring the 3 to the left by dividing both sides by 3

27÷3 = a

Simplify

a = 9

Ira Lisetskai [31]
I found width=13.72 ft and length=43.72 ft.
Call one dimension of the rectangle x, the other will be x+30
You want an area A=600 ft^2 but A=length x width=x*(x+30)=600
Rearranging you get:
x^{2} +30x-600=0
solving this quadratic equation you get a negative solution and a positive one that gives your result.

The gross weight of a package and its contents is 11 pounds 5 ounces. If the packaging weighs 1 pound 15 ounces, what's the net
dsp73
Answer A
For ease convert both into ounces.

Gross = (11x16) + 5 = 181 ounces
Packaging = (1x16) + 15 = 31 oz.

Now subtract Packaging from Gross

181 - 31 = 150 oz.

Divide by 16 to get pounds

150/16 = 9.375 - hence 9 lb.

and multiply 16 by .375 for ounces

0.375 x 16 = 6 oz.

Thus A : 9lb 6 oz
