You have to distribute the number outside the parenthesis to the numbers in the parenthesis, so basically 0.5 x 2a and 0.5 x -3 and for the other side 0.4 x 6 and 0.4 x 2a.
You will get:
a - 1.5 - 0.1 = 2.4 + 0.8a
Simplify:
a - 1.6 (because negative minus a number decreases the number)

Equation:
a - 1.6 = 2.4 + 0.8a
Subtract 0.8a from both sides.

0.2a - 1.6 = 2.4
Add 1.6 to both sides.

0.2a = 4
Divide by 0.2 (or as a fraction 1/5)
4/0.2 or 4/1/5 which is 4 x 5 because dividing a fraction is multiplying the reciprocal.

a = 20

A coin is tossed two times. The set of outcomes is
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each probability can be written as y/4, since there are four different possible outcomes.  Also, it's worth noting that if you add the three  up they will equal 4/4 or 1.

Put super simply, of HH, HT, TH, TT how many have zero Hs, how many have 1 H and how many have 2 Hs?  These are the answers to a, b and x respectively.

If Y has exactly 2 positive integer factors then Y is a prime number. if so how?
Setler79 [48]

Step-by-step explanation:

yes, if your teacher meant to include the default factors of every positive integer number : 1 and the number itself.

these are the 2 positive integer factors.

if a positive number can only be divided without remainder by 1 or by itself (with result 1), then it is per definition a prime number.

if the number can be divided without remainder by another number, then we are not dealing with a prime number.

but if your teacher did not have these default factors in mind, then no :

example : 15

15 has only 2 factors : 3 and 5.

both are positive integer numbers.

and yet 15 is not a prime number.

but back to my first point, 15 also has formally the factors 1 and 15. so, if we count them too, then we have suddenly 4 factors. and the original statement fits again.

If you were to rotate the flag to the right you will see that the inside seams of the shadow box are the same length as the edges of the folded flag. Meaning that if we were to just consider the length measurements of the folded flag then the flag would fit. However, we are also given the degree of which the point of the flag is folded, so we need to make sure that matches with the degree angle of the shadow box. The angles are the same therefore the folded flag should fit perfectly into the shadow box.
