Answer:

a=-8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

  (-1/2a-5)=3a+1

To find the opposite of  1/2 a−5, find the opposite of each term.

-1/2a-(-5)= -3a+1

The opposite of −5 is 5.

-1/2a+5=-3a+1

add 3a to both sides

-1/2a+5+3a=1

Combine-1/2and 3a to get 5/2a

5/2a+5=1

Subtract 5 from both side

5/2a=1-5

Subtract 5 from 1 to get −4.

5/2a=-4

Multiply both sides by 2/5 =0.4, the reciprocal of  5/2=2.5.

a=-4x(2/5)

express -4x(2/5)=1.6 as single  fraction.

a= -4x2/5

Multiply −4 and 2 to get −8.

a=-8/5

Fraction −8/5 ≈−1.6 can be rewritten as −8/5 =−1.6 by extracting the negative sign.

a=-8/5

45% of the 647 students at Royal Oak High attended the football game. How many students did not attend?
Lostsunrise [7]
First multiply
.45*647= 291.15
291.15 is the number of people that attended 
subtract 291.15 from 647 and you get 355.85 wait.. but that's not possible so just round it so the answer to your question is 355 people did not attened

If the radius of the circle is multiplied by a factor of 3, then the area of the circle is multiplied by a factor of
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\
A=\pi r^2\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
-----\\
r=\stackrel{r\times 3}{3r}
\end{cases}\implies A=\pi (3r)^2
\\\\\\
A=\pi (3^2r^2)\implies A=9(\pi r^2)

notice, if the original area was πr², then the new area has a factor in front of it, that much.

Perform each of the following computations using the measured quantities below.
mylen [45]
<h2>Question </h2>

Perform each of the following computations using the measured quantities below.

Write your final answer with the correct number of significant figures in proper scientific notation (one non-zero number to the left of the decimal point).

a. 917.2 + 45.63 = ___________

b. 3.423 x 10^-4 - 6.42 x 10^-3 =_________

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 9.6 x 10²

(b) -6.1 x 10⁻³

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

(a) 917.2 + 45.63

<em>First add the two numbers as follows (ensure that the decimal numbers are well aligned);</em>

   9  1   7 . 2

+   <u>   4  5 . 6  3</u>

   <u>9  6 2  . 8  3</u>

<u></u>

<em>To write the result in a proper scientific notation (one non-zero number to the left of the decimal point), </em>

i. Express the number is standard form

962.83 = 9.6283 x 10²

<em>Note that;</em>

From the result in (i)

9.6283 = mantissa

10 = base

² = power or exponent.

ii. Express the mantissa of the number in 1 decimal place.

9.6 x 10²

Therefore, the result in the proper scientific notation is <em>9.6 x 10²</em>.

(b)  3.423 x 10⁻⁴ - 6.42 x 10⁻³

Find the difference between the two numbers as follows;

i. Re-write the numbers so that they both have the same exponents:

0.3423 x 10⁻³ - 6.42 x 10⁻³

ii. Factor out 10⁻³

10⁻³(0.3423 - 6.42)

iii. Solve the bracket

10⁻³(-6.0777)

iv. Rewrite the result in (iii)

-6.0777 x 10⁻³

<em>To write the result in a proper scientific notation (one non-zero number to the left of the decimal point), </em>

i. Express the number is standard form

-6.0777 x 10⁻³       [already in standard form]

<em>Note that;</em>

From the result in (i)

-6.0777 = mantissa

10 = base

⁻³ = power or exponent.

ii. Express the mantissa of the number in 1 decimal place.

-6.1 x 10⁻³

Therefore, the result in the proper scientific notation is -6.1 x 10⁻³.
