1 answer:

6 0

2a + 21 = 8a - 9

Combine like terms.

2a + 21 = 8a - 9
-2a -2a

21 = 6a - 9
+9 +9

30 = 6a
6a/6 = 30/6
a = 5

Answer: a = 5

Find the sum of 3b/b 2 and 12/b 2 and express it in simplest form

alexandr1967 [171]

$\frac{3b}{b^{2}} + \frac{12}{b^{2}} = \frac{3b + 12}{b^{2}} = \frac{3(b) + 3(4)}{b^{2}} = \frac{3(b + 4)}{b^{2}}$

What is the solution to the equation1 over the square root of 8 = 4(m − 2)? (1 point)

kupik [55]

Rationalize the denominator, divide by 4, add 2.
$\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{8}}=4(m-2)\\\\ \sqrt{\dfrac{2}{16}}=4(m-2)\\\\ \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{4\cdot 4}=m-2\\\\ m=2+\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{16}$

in a standard deck of t2 playing cards, there are 4 aces, 4 kings, 4 queens, and 4 Jacks. All other cards have number values. th

Illusion [34]

Answer:

0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the deck is the national playing deck with 52 cards.

Your probability of getting a 3 from the entire deck is 4/52. This number is the same for 10.

To get the probability of pulling a 3 and a 10 afterwards, you must multiply these two fractions (you're expecting a lower percentage).

$4/52 * 4/52 = 0.0059$

Which list of ordered pairs represents solutions to x + y = 2? (-4, 6), (0, 2), (4, 2); (-4, -6), (0, 2), (4, 2); (-4, 6), (0, 2

baherus [9]

Answer:

(-4, 6), (0, 2), (4, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 2?

(-4, 6), -4+6 = 2 True this is a solution

(0, 2), 0+2 = 2 True this is a solution

(4, 2); 4+2 = 6 False this is not a solution

This is not a solution set since we have a pair that is not a solution

(-4, -6), -4+-6 = 10 False this is not a solution. We do not have to check the rest since this cannot be a solution set

(0, 2),

(4, 2);

This is not a solution set since we have a pair that is not a solution

(-4, 6), -4 + 6 = 2 True this is a solution

(0, 2), 0 + 2 =2 True this is a solution

(4, -2) 4-2 =2 True this is a solution

This is a solution set since all the points are a solution
