What is the answer 5a - 3 = 8a + 6

2 answers:

7 0

Subtract 5a from both sides

-3=3a+6

Subtract 6 from both sides

-9=3a

Divide by three

a= -9/3 (which is -3)

Remember what you do to one side you must do to the other

To find the answer you do:
5a-3=8a+6
5a-8a-3=8a-8a+6
-3a-3=6
-3a-3+3=6+3
-3a=9
-3a/-3=9/-3
a=-3
So a is equal to -3.

Answer:

Year 7 = 75 students

Year 9 = 25 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Year 7 has 3/8 of the total since the circle is divided into 8 sections and has 3 of the 8 sections

3/8 * 200 students = 75

Year 9 has 1/8 of the total since the circle is divided into 8 sections and has 1 of the 8 sections

1/8 * 200 =25

Find Horizontal and Vertical asymptotes for y=(x^2 -9)/(4x^2 +1)

Gnom [1K]

Answer: Horizontal asymptote is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ and vertical asymptotes are $\pm \dfrac{1}{2i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$y=\dfrac{x^2-9}{4x^2+1}$

We need to find the horizontal and vertical asymptotes.

Since vertical asymptotes will occur where the denominator becomes zero.

So, here denominator is $4x^2+1$

Now,

$4x^2+1=0\\\\4x^2=-1\\\\x^2=\dfrac{-1}{4}\\\\x=\pm \dfrac{1}{2i}$

And the horizontal asympototes will occur when the coefficient of higher degree of numerator is divided by coefficient of higher degree of denominator.

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Hence, horizontal asymptote is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ and vertical asymptotes are $\pm \dfrac{1}{2i}$
