Answer:
a = 3 7/18 or 3.388889
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you want to get the a by itself, so you would subtract 4 from the left side of the equals sign.
6a + 4 = 61 / 3 + 4
-4 -4
6a = 61 / 3
By doing that, they cancel each other out, so you are left with
6a = 61 / 3
Then you want to get a by itself, so you divide 6 from both sides.
6a / 6 = 61 / 3 / 6
Remember that 6 can also be written as 6/1
Remember that dividing a fraction is multiplying the reciprocal.
6a / 6 = 61 / 3 / 6 / 1
When dividing fractions remember to Skip the first fraction, Flip the second fraction, and Multiply the two fractions together.
61 / 3 x 1 / 6
skip multiply flip
Multiply across the top, and across the bottom.
61(1) and 3(6)
Then you get
61 / 18
So a = 61 / 18
If you want to convert that to a mixed number, it would be 3 7 / 18
If you want that in a decimal, it would be 3.388889
4.
-3/4 - 2/3 ÷ (-4/5)
= -3/4 - [2/3 ÷ (-4/5)]
{switch the numerator and denominator when changing from ÷ to ×, or × to ÷}
= -3/4 - [2/3 × (-5/4)]
{numerator × numerator, and denominator × denominator}
= -3/4 - [-10/12]
= -3/4 + 10/12
= -9/12 + 10/12
= 1/12
5.
-2 2/5 + (-2 4/5) × 4/7
= -2 2/5 - (2 4/5 × 4/7)
= -12/5 - (14/5 × 4/7)
= -12/5 - (56/35)
{Simplify fraction to make denominators same}
= -12/5 - (8/5)
= -20/5
= -4/1
= -4
6.
-(-3/5) - 1 3/7 ÷ (-5/14)
{Negative signs cancelled out, fractions compounded}
= 3/5 - 10/7 ÷ (-5/14)
{Switch numerator and denominator when switch from ÷ to ×}
= 3/5 - [10/7 × (-14/5)]
= 3/5 - [-140/35]
= 3/5 + 20/5
= 23/5
{Simplify fraction}
= 4 3/5

Answer:
The measure of each angle:
152.8° and 27.2°
Step-by-step explanation:
Supplementary angles sum 180°
then:
a + b = 180°
a - b = 125.6°
then:
a = 180 - b
a = 125.6 + b
180 - b = 125.6 + b
180 - 125.6 = b + b
54.4 = 2b
b = 54.4/2
b = 27.2°
a = 180 - b
a = 180 - 27.2
a = 152.8°
Check:
152.8 + 27.2 = 180°
