The value of "a" is 4

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>

a - 2  = -1 + 2a - 4-1

The above expression involves variables and constants

A variable is a symbol that represents an unknown number

Here the variable is "a"

Constants are fixed numbers like 1, 2 etc

<em><u>From given expression:</u></em>

a - 2  = -1 + 2a - 4-1

Move the varibale "2a" from right side to left side of equation

When, 2a is moved from R.H.S to L.H.S, it becomes -2a

a -2a - 2 = -1 -4-1

Now move the constant -2 from left side to right side of equation

Similarly, when -2 is moved from L.H.S to R.H.S, it becomes +2

a-2a = -1-4-1+2

Now add the variables on left side of equation

-a = -1-4-1+2

Now add the constants on right side of equation

-a = -6+2\\\\-a = -4

Cancel the negative sign on both sides of equation

a=4

Thus the value of "a" is 4

8. Solve the system of equations using substitution.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this we need to plug in the answer choices and make sure they work for BOTH answers!

Let us start with option A. (6,3)  3 = 4(6) + 6     = 3 = 30 This is automaticly wrong because 3 doesnt equal 30. There is no need to try it on the second equation since the first one was wrong.

Next answer choice, B  (3,6)  6 = 2(3) =   6=6. The second equation works perfect for this. Now we have to make sure that it works for the first one as well. 6 = 4(3) + 6   = 6 = 18 which is wrong.

Next, C.  (1,2)   2 = 2(1) = 2=2 Right now lets check the other equation.

2 = 4(1) + 6 = 2=10. Wrong

Last, D. (-3, -6)    -6 = 2(-3)  = -6 = -6 Right now lets check the other equation.

-6 = 4(-3) + 6 = -6 = -6. CORRECT. Answer choice D works for both equations.

Sorry for the wait of response.

Answer the question below
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

A) -1

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3 + 2\sqrt{5} }{2\sqrt{5}-3 } \\

We can rewrite 2√5 - 3 as -(3 + 2√5)

Therefore,

\frac{3+ 2\sqrt{5} }{-(3 + 2\sqrt{5} )} \\

We can cancel out 3 + 2√5 both in the numerator and the denominator. So we get

= 1/-1

= -1

Answer : A) -1

Thank you.

No it is not equal. 3.55 divided by 5=0.71.    0.3 divided by 5+ 0.05 divided by 5 equals to 0.07.
