What is the value of a in the equation 3 a + b = 54, when b=9

To solve this plug in 9 for b and solve for a like so...

3a + 9 = 54

9 must be combined with 54. To do this you must subtract 9 from both sides. This will cancel out 9 from the left and bring it over to the right

3a + (9 - 9) = 54 - 9

3a + 0 = 45

3a = 45

Now we must isolate the a. To do this you have to divide 3 to both sides. This will make 3 on the left side 1 and bring 3 over to the other side

3a/3 = 45/3

1a = 15

a = 15

Hope this helped!

. Shanice is making a garden. The area of the garden is 24 ft2. Use the following shape and information to find the base (6−4) a
crimeas [40]

Answer:

The base and height  of the garden are 4.60 ft and 5.60 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the garden is, <em>A</em> = 24 ft².

The base height of the garden are:

base (<em>b</em>) = 6x - 4

height (<em>h</em>) = x + 3

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

A=\frac{1}{2}\times b \times h\\\\24=\frac{1}{2}\times (6x-4) \times (x+3)\\\\48=6x^{2}+18x-4x-12\\\\6x^{2}+14x-60=0\\\\3x^{2}+7x-30=0\\

The last equation is a quadratic equation.

Compute the roots of the quadratic equation as follows:

x = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{ 2a }\\x = \frac{ -14 \pm \sqrt{14^2 - 4(3)(-30)}}{ 2(3) }\\x = \frac{ -14 \pm \sqrt{556}}{ 6 }\\x = \frac{ -14 }{ 6 } \pm \frac{2\sqrt{139}\, }{ 6 }\\x = -\frac{ 7}{  3 } \pm \frac{ \sqrt{139}\, }{  3 }\\x = 1.59661\\x\approx 1.60

The value of base and height are:

\text{base}=6x-4=(6\times 1.60)-4=5.60\ \text{ft}\\\\\text{height}=x+3=1.60+3=4.60\ \text{ft}

Thus, the base and height  of the garden are 4.60 ft and 5.60 ft.

∠A and ∠B are vertical angles. ∠A = 65x − 12 and ∠B = 43x + 10 How many degrees are in ∠A?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

53 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent so...

65x-12=43x+10

22x=22

x=1

Then add it into the equation of ∠A

m∠A= 65(1)-12

65-12

53
