The answer is a equals 6.

5(a – 7) + 11 = 2a – 3(a + 4)

5a - 35 + 11 = 2a - 3a - 12

5a - 24 = -a - 12

add a to both sides

5a - 24 + a = -a -12 + a

simplify

6a - 24 = -12

add 24 to both sides

6a - 24 + 24 = -12 + 24

simplify

6a = 12

divide both sides by 6

6a/6 = 12/6

simplify

a = 2

Guys i need your HELP ASAP​
ivanzaharov [21]
To solve this, you’ll first need to solve for their slopes.

The slope for line Q is y2-y1/x2-x1 = -8-(-2)/-8-(-10) = -3

We know that the lines are perpendicular so the negative reciprocal of -3 is 1/3

The equation you get it y = 1/3x + b.

Now you will need to solve for b by substituting in the first ordered pair of line R.

2 = 1/3(1) + b.

Once you solve for b, you should get 5/3 and y = 1/3x + 5/3

Now, to find a, you will need to substitute in 10 from the second ordered pair into x in your new equation.

y = 1/3(10) + 5/3.

Your solution should be 5.

So your answer is: a = 5

Find the area of this parallelogram?
Jet001 [13]

So, the area of a parallelogram is the base times the height or

a = b \times h

a being area

b being base

h being height

the height is 8 cm and the base is 15 cm

(remember: the heght should be perpendicular to the base)

so we plug in 8 for h and 15 for b to get

a = 15 \times 8

and 15 × 8 = (10 × 8) + (5 × 8) = 80 + 40 =120

So the answer is 120

Solve by addition method <br>3x+y=8 <br>2x-y=7
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

(3,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the system of equations:

3x+y=8\\2x-y=7

As directed, add straight down. The y-variable will cancel:

5x=15

Now, divide both sides by 5. The left cancels:

x=3

So x is 3.

Now, substitute 3 for x in either of the equations:

3x+y=8

Substitute 3 for x:

3(3)+y=8

Multiply:

9+y=8

Subtract 9 from both sides:

y=-1

So, our answer is: x=3, y=-1 or (3,-1).

And we are done :)

Need to solve for Y by filling in the blanks<br>(y +44)°, 86, (3y)°​
lapo4ka [179]
Answer:

1.89

Solution:

We have -44x - 86 = -3

First, we move the non x terms to the RHS of the equation. To do this, we add 86 to both sides.

Note: if a = b, then a + c = b + c
Therefore, -44x - 86 + 86 = -3 + 86

or, -44x = 83

Next, divide both sides by -44, which is the coefficent of x

Note: if a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c
-44x
-44
=
83
-44

or, x = -1.89
