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

Answer: a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a+3)=-4

Distribute

2a+6=-4

subtract the six with the four and you get -10

-6-4=-10

now divide 2a with -10

you get a= -5

you can plug the answer in

Write an equation for each line.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of blue line:

blue line is parallel to y-axis

⇒ x = 5

Equation of green line:

Green line is parallel to x-axis.

y = 2

Equation of red line:

At y-intercept x = 0. Point on red line is (0,5)

So, y-intercept = 5

y = mx + b Here,  m is slope any b is y-intercept.

y = mx + 5

Now, choose any other point in red line. ((1,7)

Substitute this value in the above equation and we can find m

7 = m*1 + 5

7 - 5 = m

m = 2

y = 2x + 5

Equation of black line:

Black line and red line are parallel and so, they have same slope.

y = 2x + b

y-intercept (0,-6) ; b = -6

y = 2x - 6

Find the specified vector or scalar. . u = -4i + 1j and v = 4i + 1j; Find |u+v|. a. square root of 34. b. 5. c. 2
ExtremeBDS [4]
U = - 4 i + 1 j
v = 4 i + 1 j
| u | = √ (-4)² + 1² = √ 17
| v | = √4² + 1² = √ 17
| u + v | = √(u + v)²=
= √( u² + 2 u v + v² )= ...
cos ( u, v ) = (-16+1) / (|u| |v|) = -15/17
...= √(17 + 2 · √17 · √17 · ( -15/17) +17)  =
= √ 34 - 30 = √ 4 = 2

Please help i’ll give brainliest
Georgia [21]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute values for x until they all work.

A. y = 2 x 2 + 5 = 9 fail

B. y = 2 x 2 - 6 = -2 fail

C. y = -2 x 2 - 5 = -9 fail

D. y = -0.5 x 2 - 5 = -6 ok

y = -0.5 x 5 - 5 = -7.5 ok

y = -0.5 x 6 - 5 = -8 ok
