Just solve the equation

Given:

-2(3a+1) = 5(1+a)

-6a - 2 = 5 + 5a

11 a = -7

a = -7/11

Answer:

a = -7/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute -2 and 5 through the parentheses, -6a - 2 = 5 + 5a

Move the Variable and constant  to a proper side, -6a - 5a = 5 + 2

Calculate like terms, -11a = 7

Divide both sides of the equation by -11, a = -7/11

Final answer, a = -7/11

a bookstore took in$ 167 on the sale of 5 copies of a new cookbook and 3 copies of a new novel the next day it took in $ 89 on t
PSYCHO15rus [73]

I am going to use C to represent cookbook and N to represent N. I find that easier to remember which is which.

Day 1: 5C + 3N = 167

Day 2: 3C + 1N = 89

We need to solve one of these equation for either the C or N. I always choose the easiest one! Day 2 looks like the one.

3C + 1N = 89 (I am doing to solve for N because we won't have a fraction)

1N=89-3C

N=89-3C

Now we take this solution for N and put it into our first equation.

5C + 3(89-3C) = 167 (We need to distribute)

5C + 267 - 9C = 167 (Use subtraction to move C values to the right and numbers to the left)

267-167 = 9C-5C

100 = 4C

25 = C $25 for the Cookbooks.


Now, we have to go back and solve for N by putting $25 in for C in the second equation.

N=89-3(25)

N=89-75

N=14 dollars for each novel.

Check by putting both back into the first equation:

5C + 3N = 167

5(25) + 3(14) = 167. It checks out!

Find the perimeter of the following triangle.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

If I did my math correctly, I'm pretty sure the answer is 3 1/36 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, you have to turn them all into an improper fraction.

1 7/18 becomes 25/18

1 2/9 becomes 11/9

5/12 remains the same as it's already an improper fraction.

2. Find a common denominator, which is 36

25/18 becomes 50/36

11/9 becomes 44/36

5/12 becomes 15/36

3. Add them all together and you get 109/36

4. Turn it into a mixed number, and in this case, is 3 1/36

Solution is 3 1/36
