For this question you can say:
10/2 = a/a-9 is equal to 2a = 10a - 90
so now you should add -10a on both sides:
2a -10a = -90 ⇒ -8a = -90 ⇒ a = -90/-8 ⇒ a = 11.25 :)))
i hope this is helpful
have a nice day

10/2= a/a-9

10/2=a/a+-9

Multiply all terms by a and cancel

10a/2 = a+-9a

Simplify both sides of the equation

5a= -8a

Add 8a to both sides

5a+8a= -8a+8a

13a=0

Divide both sides by 13

13a/13=0/13

a= 0

Answer : No solution

I hope that's help !

Solve the following quadratic equation by factoring or Quadratic Formula.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - 3x - 10. = 0

x2 + 2x - 5x - 10 = 0

(x2 + 2x) (-5x - 10) = 0

x (x + 2) - 5 (x + 2) = 0

(x - 5) (x + 2) = 0

x - 5 = 0 x + 2 = 0

x = 5 or x = - 2.

Last year the backgammon club had 30 members this year the club has 24 members find the percent of decrease of members

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Percent Decrease = 20% Decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

To find percentage decrease, we will use a simple formula shown below:

Percentage Decrease/Increase = $\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100$

Where

New is the latest number of members (which is 24)

Old is the initial number of members (which is 30)

<em>Note: the multiplication by a factor of "100" brings the answer to a percentage</em>.

Now, lets substitute the numbers and figure out the percentage decrease:

$\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100\\\frac{24-30}{30}*100\\\frac{-6}{30}*100\\-0.2*100\\-20$

So, it comes to -20, which is a decrease of 20%

Find the value of a and of b for which<br>(a) the solution of x2 + ax < b is<br>-2<x < 4

KengaRu [80]

Answer: $a = -2$

$b = 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

$x^{2} +ax$

re - writing the equation , we have

$x^{2} +ax-b$

we need to find the value of a and b for which -2<x < 4 , this means that the roots of the quadratic equation are -2<x < 4.

The formula for finding the quadratic equation when the roots are known is :

$x^{2}$ - sum of roots(x) + product of root = 0

sum of roots = -2 + 4 = 2

product of roots = -2 x 4 = -8

substituting into the formula , we have:

$x^{2} -2x-8=0$ , which could be written in inequality form as

$x^{2} -2x-8$

comparing with $x^{2} +ax-b$ , it means that :

$a = -2$

$b = 8$
