Answer:

a = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

Divide -8 from both sides:

(-8a)/-8 = (24)/-8

a = 24/-8

a = -3

a = -3 is your answer.

Answer:

( 3x -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x^2 – 7x + 2

We know that the constant only has factors of 1 and 2

Since the middle term is negative we know that that we are subtracting

A negative times a negative is positive for the final term

A negative plus a negative is negative for the middle term

( -1 ) ( -2)

We have to determine how to break up 6x^2

1x * 6x

2x*3x

3x*2x

6x*1x

We are given that one factor is 2x-1

( 2x -1 ) ( -2)

That means the other factor of 6x^2 is 3x ( 2x*3x)

( 2x -1 ) ( 3x -2)

Elis [28]

Answer:

$4785.68

Step-by-step explanation:

Original amount: $4230

Interest for 1 year: 4.2%

First year;

$4230 + (4230 \times \frac{4.2}{100}) \\ = 4230 + 177.66 \\ = 4407.66$

Second year;

$4407.66 + (4407.66 \times \frac{4.2}{100} ) \\ = 4407.66 + 185.12172 \\ = 4592.78172$

Third year (total balance after 3 years);

$4592.78172 + (4592.78172 \times \frac{4.2}{100} ) \\ = 4592.78172 + 192.89683224 \\ =4785.67855224$

Round the number;

$4785.68
