What is the answer to the equation 4a+26-9a-17=26?

1 answer:

5 0

First you have to put all of your common numbers together. 4a and 9a go together. You then subtract those because 9 is negative (-9). Then you get -5a. Now move on to your other numbers. You have 26 and 17. 17 is negative as well (-17), so you subtract it from 26. That gives you 9.
Your new equation is -5a + 9 = 26
Now you subtract 9 from both sides. Your positive (+9) will cancel out with your negative (-9). Then subtract it from 26. 9 minus 26 is 17.
Now your equation is -5a = 17
Since it's negative, you're going to add it (5) to both sides.
Your 5's cancel out, and 17 + 5 is 22.
a = 22
22 is the answer

How many 3/4s are in 3 2/4

MArishka [77]

Answer:

the answer is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First change the whole number (3) to quaters or fraction

3x $\frac{4}{4}$ = $\frac{12}{4}$

Now, add

$\frac{2}{4}$ + $\frac{12}{4}$ = $\frac{14}{4}$ Since, we have the same common denominator

now divide

14÷4 =3.5 = 3 $\frac{2}{4}$

Therefore, there are 3 of 3/4 with a remainder of $\frac{2}{4}$ in 3 $\frac{2}{4}$ .

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!PLZ HELP!!!

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

<em>"Ray says the third-degree polynomial has four intercepts. Kelsey argues the function can have as many as three zeros only."</em>

We know that Kelsey is right, a polynomial of degree 3 has maximum 3 zeroes, so it means that the graph of this polynomial has maximum 3 x-intercepts.

<u>So how Ray can be right too?</u>

we need to think of y-intercept, if we add the y-intercept then Ray can be right too,

as you can see in one example below

there are 3 x-intercepts and 1 y-intercept.

This being said, Ray is not always right. For instance $x^3$
