Remmeber you can do anything to an equaiton as long as you do it to btoh sides
5-6(a+2)=7+a
distribute
5-6a-12=7+a
add like terms
-6a-7=7+a
add 6a both sides
-7=7+7a
minus 7 both sides
-14=7a
divide by 7
-2=a
a=-2

The first step here would be to distribute the parenthesis to the -6.

5 - 6a - 12 = 7 + a

Next, combine all like terms. This means that the constants will combine, thus making the next step easier.

- 6a - 7 = 7 + a

Now, subtract the negative seven from the other side of the parenthesis. When I say add the negative, I mean that the sign (-) will flip, turning into a positive.

- 6a = 14 + a

Now do the same with the a, except this time the a will be subtracted from the other side due to it's positive sign being flipped into a negative.

- 7a = 14

Now you divide both sides by - 7. Almost done!!!

- 7a / - 7 = 14 / -7

Finally the equation simplifies to:

a= -2

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

f(2b) = 4b^2 +4b +1

Step-by-step explanation:

Put 2b where x is and simplify.

f(2b) = (2b)^2 +2(2b) +1

f(2b) = 4b^2 +4b + 1

Why is pi the best example of an exponent
FromTheMoon [43]

Pi is seldom useful as an exponent, and is hardly ever used as one.
If you need to show somebody an example of an exponent, I think
that pi is one of the worst examples you can choose.

Is sin(x) even or odd ? prove with examples ?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

\text{sin}(x) is an odd function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to prove whether \text{sin}(x) is even or odd.

We know that a function f(x) is even if f(x)=f(-x) and a function f(x) is odd, when f(-x)=-f(x).

We also know that an even function is symmetric with respect to y-axis and an odd function is symmetric about the origin.

Upon looking at our attachment, we can see that \text{sin}(x) is symmetric with respect to origin, therefore, \text{sin}(x) is an odd function.
