To solve 7-2a-5-14=-2+3a :

1) combine like terms: 7-19 - 2a = -2 + 3a, and then -10 = 5a

2) solve this equation for a: a = -10/5 = -2.

The solution of 7-2a-5-14=-2+3a is a = -2.

7 - 2a - 5 - 14 = -2 + 3a

Firstly, collect like terms (the constants) on the left side of the equation.

7 - 5 - 14 = -12

The equation becomes

-12 - 2a = -2 + 3a

Add 2 to both sides. The -2 on the right side cancels out and the constant -12 on the left becomes -10.

-10 - 2a = 3a

Add 2a to both sides. The -2a on the left cancels out and the 3a on the right becomes 5a.

-10 = 5a

Divide both sides by 5. The coefficient on the right cancels out and the -10 becomes -2.

-2 = a

Answer:

a = -2

Arte-miy333 [17]
X = first venture, y = second venture, z = third venture

x + y + z = 15,000
x + z = y + 7000
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
these are ur equations.....

x + y + z = 15,000
x - y + z = 7000
--------------------add
2x + 2z = 22,000

x + y + z = 15,000....multiply by -2
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
-------------------
-2x - 2y - 2z = - 30,000 (result of multiplying by -2)
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
------------------add
x = 9,000

2x + 2z = 22,000
2(9000) + 2z = 22000
18,000 + 2z = 22000
2z = 22000 - 18000
2z = 4000
z = 4000/2
z = 2,000

x + y + z = 15,000
9000 + y + 2000 = 15,000
11,000 + y = 15,000
y = 15,000 - 11,000
y = 4,000

first venture (x) = 9,000 <==
second venture (y) = 4,000 <==
third venture (z) = 2,000 <==

A picnic basket was marked up 95% from an original cost of $9.57. Last Friday, Rosanne bought the picnic basket and paid an addi
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

$20.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Original cost =  $9.57

Markup= 95%

Let us find the new cost of the basket

=95/100*9.57

=0.95*9.57

=$9.0915

Hence the cost of the basket is

= 9.57+9.0915

=18.66

Also, the sales tax is 8%

=8/100*18.66

=0.08*18.66

=1.4928

Therefore, the total amount to be paid is

=18.66+1.4928

=$20.15
