Find a, (x-3) + (x-a) = 15

Mathematics
1 answer:
slega [8]3 years ago
8 0

a = 2x - 18

remove the parenthesis and simplify

x - 3 + x - a = 15

2x - 3 - a = 18 ( add 3 to both sides

2x - a = 18 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- a = 18 - 2x ( multiply through by - 1 )

a = - 18 + 2x

a = 2x - 18

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

24 blank shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing you're asking for blank shirts. 12+6+4+2=24. 24 teams so far, but there are the blank shirts.

(24+b)/2=b. Multiply by 2

=24+b=2b. Subtract b

24=b

The Helheim glacier in Greenland enters the ocean in a 6.3 kilometer wide fjord. The terminus of the glacier retreated 7.5 kilom
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

7.56 km²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Width of the fjord, w = 6.3 km

Retreated terminus of the glacier between may 2001 and June 2005, d = 7.5 km

thus, the length lost , y = 7.5 - 6.3 = 1.2 km

now, the area is given as:

A = Length × width

on substituting the values, we get

A = 1.2 × 6.3

or

A = 7.56 km²

Hence, the surface area lost by the glacier in the fjord is 7.56 km²
