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

Miguel sells insurance. He earns a 6% commission on each sale he makes. Miguel has a goal of earning $600 in commissions. Miguel

tankabanditka [31]

Answer: $12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Miguel makes 6% on every sale he makes and wants to make $600 in commissions.

The amount he needs to sell is therefore the amount that has $600 as 5% of it.

Assume the amount of insurance needed is x.

x * 5% = 600

x = 600 / 5%

x = $12,000

How many distinguishable a arrangements are there of the letters in "REPRESENTATION"?

Anika [276]

Answer: There are 1,816,214,400 ways for arrangements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

"REPRESENTATION"

Here, number of letters = 14

There are 2 R's, 3 E's, 2 T's, 2 N's

So, number of permutations would be

$\dfrac{14!}{2!\times 3!\times 2!\times 2!}\\\\=1,816,214,400$

Hence, there are 1,816,214,400 ways for arrangements.

Answer:

$-7 < -4 < 0 < 7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Change: -4, 7, -7 and 0

Required

Compare them

From the list of given options, we can observe that the inequality < is used in all options.

This implies that we arrange from least to highest

The least is -7

Then, -4

Then 0

And lastly, 7

So, we have:

$-7 < -4 < 0 < 7$
