What value of a makes the solution to the equation 5x-10=3x+a equal to 12

Mathematics
1 answer:
Illusion [34]3 years ago

Answer:

a=-1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-10=3x+a=12

let's first find x:

5x-10=12

add 10 to both sides:

5x=22

divide both sides by 5:

x=4.4

now that we know what x is, we can plug it back into the equation to find a:

3*4.4+a=12

first, simplify both sides:

13.2+a=12

then, subtract 13.2 from both sides:

and our answer is: a=-1.2

The approximate time between two high tides or<br> two low tides is?
NeX [460]

Answer:

It's (very roughly) 12 hours from one high tide to the next, and of course the same for low tides. That's because the tides produced when the Moon is directly overhead or in the opposite direction are the same. Same with two low tides, since there are two tides a day (both low and high).
