Which value of a from the set {16, 18, 20, 22} makes the equation 2(42 - a) = 48 true?

1 answer:

7 0

a is equivalent to 18.

2(42 - a) = 48
2(42) + 2(-a) = 48 *distributive property of multiplication
84 - 2a = 48
-2a = 48 - 84
-2a = -36
-2a/-2 = -36/-2
a = 18

to check:
2(42-a) = 48
2(42-18) = 48
2(24) = 48
48 = 48

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Do parentheses first, exponents inside them first. 4^2 = 16, + 1 is 17, then multiply by the 3 outside to get 51, then multiply by the 2 outside that to get 102, - 2^3 which is -8 = 94

Answer:

Gradient = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of a line is the slope of the line.

The standard form of the line equation is y = mx + b

where m is the slope ( or gradient) b is the y - intercept.

Given :

2y = -10x + 1
