add the like terms that are on the left, then isolate the variable (a) on the left by dividing both sides by .

2a + 6a = -24

    8a    = -24             <em>added like terms (2a + 6a)</em>

  8a/8  =  -24/8         <em>divided both sides by 8</em>

      a    = -3                <em>simplified (8/8 = 1   and   -24/8 = -3)</em>

Answer: -3

A l-meter steel rod is bent into a rectangle so that its length exceeds quadruple its width
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The dimensions of the newly formed rectangle is length is 41 cm and width is 9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A 1 meter steel rod is bent into a rectangle.

That means the perimeter of the rectangle is 1 meter.

So, Perimeter = 1\ m=100\ cm

Let the width of the rectangle be 'x'.

Now According to question, length exceeds quadruple its width by 5 cm.

Hence framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

Length=4x+5

Now we use the formula of  perimeter of rectangle,

Perimeter=2(Length+width)

On substituting the values, we get;

2(4x+5+x)=100\\\\(5x+5)=\frac{100}{2}\\\\5x+5=50\\\\5x=50-5\\\\5x=45\\\\x=\frac{45}{5}=9

Now, we substitute the value of x to get the value of length;

Length=4x+5=4\times9+5=36+5=41\ cm

Thus, Width=9 cm    Length=41 cm

Hence the dimensions of the newly formed rectangle is length is 41 cm and width is 9 cm.

Help pls!!! <br> If a1 = 6 and an<br> 2an-1 then find the value of a4.
Alenkinab [10]
24? I am not entirely sure but I think a4=24

Reason: if a1 equals 6 then I would like to think you would multiply 6 by 4 to get the value of a4 (I haven’t done this type of math in a while)
