Solve 2(a + 7) = 5a - 13

Mathematics
1 answer:
timurjin [86]3 years ago

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

How do you do this problem?
faust18 [17]

The volume of the original cylinder is

... V = π·r²·h

For r=1 and h=1, this is

... V = π·1²·1 = π

For the new cylinder, the volume is 1.089 times that amount.

... V = 1.089π = π·1.1²·(1-k)

... 1.089/1.21 = 1-k

... k = 1 - 1.089/1.21 = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1 = 10%

The appropriate choice is (B) 10.

Naddik [55]
Answer:

y=3/8x-4
Move the expression to the left
y-3/8x=-4
Multiply both sides by 8
8y-3x=-32
Reorder the terms
-3x+8y=-32
Change the signs and standard form is...
3x-8y=32

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

2 orders

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

The local store sells at $24 per pair of jeans

Cost = $24

The online store sells at $22 per pair plus a shipping fee of $6 per order

let the number of orders be x

Cost= 22+6x

For 1 order

the online store will cost

Cost= 22+6*1

Cost= 22+6

Cost= $28

For 2 orders

The local shop cost

Cost= 24*2= $48

The online store will cost

Cost= 22+6*2

the online store will cost

Cost= 22+12

Cost= $34

Hence Tim should place at least 2 orders if he wants to buy online
