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

What is the area of the figure below?

Grace [21]

Answer:

option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is combination of parallelogram and semi- circle. So,

area = area of parallelogram + area of semi-circle

$Area \ of \ parallelogram = base \times height = 7 \times 6 = 42 cm^2\\\\Area \ of \ semi-circle = \frac{1}{2} \pi r^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 3.14 \times 3.5^2 = 19.2cm^2\\\\Therefore \ Area = 42 + 19.23 = 61.2cm^2$

What is -6w < 85. help

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

w=[-14.1667, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

the variable w can be any real number less than the value of 85, thus -6 multiplied by any number greater than the value of 14.1667 shall be less than 85. the value for the minimum limit number is obtained dividing 85 by -6 due to the varibale -6w and the value 85 as the maximum limit.
