ANSWER

a =  \frac{5}{16}

EXPLANATION

We want to find the value of a for which the binomial, 2a-1 is smaller than the value of the binomial 7-1.2a by 7.

This means that, when we subtract 2a-1 from 7-1.2a, we should get 7.

7 - 1.2a - (2a - 1) = 7

Expand:

7 - 1.2a - 2a  + 1= 7

Group similar terms:

- 1.2a - 2a = 7 - 7 - 1

- 3.2a =   - 1

Divide both sides by -3.2,

a =  \frac{ - 1}{ - 3.2}

a =  \frac{5}{16}

Mark wants to fence 4 rectangular gardens, each with a length of 9 1/4 feet and a width of 4 1/2feet. What is the length of fenc
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

110 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of fencing is four times the perimeter of one garden.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is  

P = 2l + 2w

The total perimeter for all four rectangles is

P = 4× (2l + 2w) = 8l + 8w

Data:

 l = 9¼ ft

w = 4½ ft

Calculation:

P = 8l + 8w = 8×9¼ + 8×4½ = 72⁸/₄ + 32⁸/₂ =(72 + 2) + (32 + 4) = 74 + 36 = 110 ft

The total length of fencing is 110 ft.

When 5x^2 + 2= 4x is written in standard form, what are the values of a, b, and c
goblinko [34]

The standard form of a quadratic equation is

ax^{2}+bx+c=0,

where a, b, and c are coefficients. You want to get the given equation into this form. You can accomplish this by putting all the non-zero values on the left side on the equation.

In this case, the given equation is

5x^{2}+2=4x

Since 4x is on the right side of the equation, we subtract that from both sides. The resulting equation is

5x^{2}-4x+2=0

Looking at the standard form equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0, we can see that

a=5, b=-4, c=0

A company buys computers and printers. Each computer costs $550 and each printer costs $390. If the company spends $8160 and buy
maxonik [38]

Answer:the company bought 12 computers and 4 printers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of computers that the company bought.

Let y represent the number of printers that the company bought.

The company buys a total of 16 machines. It means that

x + y = 16

Each computer costs $550 and each printer costs $390. If the company spends $8160 for all the computers and printers that was bought, it means that

550x + 390y = 8160 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 16 - y into equation 1, it becomes

550(16 - y) + 390y = 8160

8800 - 550y + 390y = 8160

- 550y + 390y = 8160 - 8800

- 160y = - 640

y = - 640/ - 160

y = 4

Substituting y = 4 into x = 16 - y, it becomes

x = 16 - 4

x = 12
