We certainly wish him all the best, and caution him to be careful.
To solve for this, we need to use the Distributive Property, which allows us to multiply the number/variable outside of the parenthesis by all numbers/variables inside of the parenthesis. Once we've done that, we can attempt to simplify the equation.
Our current equation is:
7a + 3(9+5a) = 0
Let's use the Distributive Property.
3(9 + 5a)
3(9) + 3(5a)
27 + 15a
Our current equation now is:
7a + 27 + 15a = 0
Combine like-terms.
15a + 7a = 22a
22a + 27 (If this is not being solved, THIS is your answer as an expression)
Subtract 27 from both sides
22a = -27
Divide both sides by 22 to get a.
a = -27/22.
If we are not solving for a, but getting an expression, your answer is:
22a + 27.
If we are solving for a, our answer is:
a = -27/22.
I hope this helps!
You would do 24 times 3 and get 72 or divide 24 by 1/4=0.25
Answer:
Angle Bisector
Step-by-step explanation:
The top angle is split into two equal sections
Georgia worked overtime on 4 of the 5 days. Her total overtime hours were
... (12-8) +(9 -8) +(10 -8) +(10 -8) = 4 +1 +2 +2 = 9
Then her pay for the week is
... (hours) × (pay per hour)
... = ((7 + 4×8) +1.5×9) × $7.50
... = 52.5 × $7.50
... = $393.75 . . . . Georgia's gross pay for the week
_____
Pay for "time and a half" can be computed by multiplying pay by 1.5 for overtime hours, or multiplying overtime hours by 1.5 and using straight pay. Either way, it is (overtime hours)×(1.5)×(straight pay).
