To solve 7-2a-5-14=-2+3a :
1) combine like terms: 7-19 - 2a = -2 + 3a, and then -10 = 5a
2) solve this equation for a: a = -10/5 = -2.
The solution of 7-2a-5-14=-2+3a is a = -2.
Oh this question is kinda tricky. At first glance it’s 1 : 1.5 but notice the units. The model car is 10 inches long and the actual car is 15 feet long.
I think you know where to go from there, but 15 feet * 12 inches = 180 inches.
10 : 180 simplifies to 1 : 18 inches
Answer:
use quarts. it is more precise because it is an smaller measurement
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the CE = 10x + 18 and DE = 7x - 1 and D is the midpoint of CE
⇒ CE = 2 * DE
⇒ 10x + 18 = 2 * (7x - 1)
⇒ 10x + 18 = 14x - 2
⇒ -4x = -20
⇒ x = 5
Now we also know that BC = 9x - 3 and AC = CE = 10x + 18
⇒ AB = AC - BC
⇒ AB = 10x + 18 - (9x - 3)
⇒ AB = x + 21
Substituting the value of x,
⇒ AB = 5 + 21
⇒ AB = 26
Hence, the value of AB is 26 units.
