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

1 QUESTION. PLEASE HELP. VOLUME GEOMETRY QUESTION.
mina [271]
Knowing the volume of a 3-D shape is extremely when deciding what materials to use and how much of them to use.  When you know the volume of the different designs is helpful when deciding which material costs less to use but still meets requirements. For example, if you were trying to decide what material to fill your product with, and say the volume of your product is 36^3. You narrow things down to two products, one costing $54 to fill the entire thing. The other costing $60. Because you have the volume, it will be easy to decide which is better based off of the price per square inch. If you didn't have the volume. You would have to make an estimate and potentially make a bad business decision.   

Hope this helps! I apologize for my long response

Find the center and radius of the circle (x+3)^2+(y-1)^2=81
sasho [114]

The equation of a circle is written as ( x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

h and k is the center point of the circle and r is the radius.

In the given equation (x+3)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 81

h = -3

k = 1

r^2 = 81

Take the square root of both sides:

r = 9

The center is (-3,1) and the radius is 9
