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

Mathematics
1 answer:
timurjin [86]4 years ago
4 0

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

What is the meaning of a composite number?
zaharov [31]
Composite number is a positive integer that can be formed by multiplying together two smaller positive integers. Equivalently, it is a positive integer that has at least one divisor other than 1 and itself.[1][2] Every positive integer is composite, prime, or the unit 1, so the composite numbers are exactly the numbers that are not prime and not a unit.

For example, the integer 14 is a composite number because it is the product of the two smaller integers 2 × 7. Likewise, the integers 2 and 3 are not composite numbers because each of them can only be divided by one and itself

FIND THE SLOPE OF THE LINE...<br><br> A) 1/2<br><br> B) 2<br><br> C) - 1/2<br><br> D) -2
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The slope would be C) -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find it, we need to use the slope formula and two points on the line. The points we'll use are (0, -3) and (2, -4)

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-3 - -4)/(0 - 2)

m = 1/-2

m = -1/2
