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

Find the value of x for which the lines a and b are parallel. answer : 23 20 2 19
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

x=19

Step-by-step explanation:

These two angles are alternate interior angles and alternate interior angles are equal when the lines are parallel

148 = 7x+15

Subtract 15 from each side

148-15 =7x+15-15

133 = 7x

Divide by 7

133/7 = 7x/7

19 =x

You are to drive to an interview in another town, at a distance of 270 km on an expressway. The interview is at 11:15 a.m. You p
Yuri [45]

Answer:

the least required speed  is 103.88 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total distance = 270 km

Total time to reach = Time between 8 a.m and 11:15 a.m i.e 3.25 hours

Now,

For the distance of 110 km speed was 100 km/h

therefore, the time taken to cover 110 km = \frac{\textup{Distance}}{\textup{speed}}

= \frac{\textup{110 km}}{\textup{100 km/h}}

= 1.1 hour

For another 43 km speed was 42 km/h

therefore, the time taken to cover 43 km =  \frac{\textup{Distance}}{\textup{speed}}

= \frac{\textup{43 km}}{\textup{42 km/h}}

= 1.0238 hours

Now,

The distance left to be covered = 270 - 110 - 43 = 117 km

Time left = 3.25 h - 1.1 h - 1.0238 h = 1.1262 h

Thus required speed = \frac{\textup{117 km}}{\textup{1.1262 h}}

= 103.88 km/h

Hence, the least required speed  is 103.88 km/h

Can some one help with 18 and 19
bulgar [2K]
<span>By by pythagorean theorem
12 (squared) + r (</span>squared) = (8+r) squared<span>
so 144 + r ( </span>squared) = 64 + r (squared)<span> +16r
so solving for r:
144 -64 = r </span>squared –r squared<span> + 16r
80 = 16r
so r = 80/16= 5

the second is the same
21 </span>squared + r squared = (9 + r ) squared<span>
441 + r </span>squared = 81 + r squared<span> + 18r
441 – 81 = r </span>squared – r <span>squared</span><span> + 18r
r = 360/18 = 20</span>
