Answer:

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a + 3) = -4

2a + 6 = -4     Use the distributive property, distribute the 2 into (a + 3), meaning multiply the 2 by a and by 3.

2a = -10       Subtract 6 from both sides to isolate the a variable.

a = -5        Divide both sides by 2

the denominator of a fraction is 3 less than the numerator. If 5 is added to the numerator and denominator, the result is 5/6. F
Vitek1552 [10]
X=numerator
y=denominator
the sum of numerator and denominator=x+y
we suggest this system of equations:

y=x-3
(x+5) / (y+5)=5/6

we solve this system of equation by substitution method.
(x+5) / (x-3+5)=5/6
(x+5) / (x+2)=5/6
6(x+5)=5(x+2)
6x+30=5x+10
6x-5x=10-30
x=-20

y=x-3=-20-3=-23

Teh sum of the numerator an denominator=-20+(-23)=-43

Answer:    -43

Calculate the trade discount for 3030 boxes of computer paper if the unit price is ​$14.9314.93 and a single trade discount rate
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Total trade discount on 30 boxes = $201.555

Step-by-step explanation:

1 box = $14.93

And a trade discount of 45% is allowed on a single box,

Therefore, the discount on one $14.93 box will be

45% × $14.93 = $6.7185

So, if there are now 30 boxes, the trade discount on all 30 boxes will be

30 × (trade discount on one box) = 30 × ($6.7185) = $201.555

Hope this helps!
