Simplifying

44 = 14 + -2a

Solving

44 = 14 + -2a

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2a' to each side of the equation.

44 + 2a = 14 + -2a + 2a

Combine like terms: -2a + 2a = 0

44 + 2a = 14 + 0

44 + 2a = 14

Add '-44' to each side of the equation.

44 + -44 + 2a = 14 + -44

Combine like terms: 44 + -44 = 0

0 + 2a = 14 + -44

2a = 14 + -44

Combine like terms: 14 + -44 = -30

2a = -30

Divide each side by '2'.

a = -15

Simplifying

a = -15 p.s i hope i helped you ~ azu

To solve the equation 44 = 14 - 2a, we need to get a by itself, on one side of the equation. We can do this by first getting terms with a on one side and terms without it on the other side.

44 = 14 - 2a

To get a on one side, we need to eliminate 14 from the side with the -2a. We can do this by subtracting 14 from each side.

44 - 14 = 14 - 14 - 2a

-2a = 30

Now we want to get a single a, which can be accomplished by dividing both sides by -2.

-2/-2a 30/-2

a = -15

Determine whether the study depicts an observational study or an experiment.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Option c

Step-by-step explanation:

The study is an observational study. An observational study is made when the researchers collect data based on what they see, hear or observe without any form of manipulation or treatment plan from the researchers. Thus, in this case, the study is an observational study because the study examines individuals in a sample, but does not try to influence the response variable/influence their responses.

A quilted block users eight parallelogram shaped pieces of clothe each with a base of 3/3/4 inches. How much fabric is needed to

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

37.5 ft² of fabric is needed to make the parallelogram pieces for 24 blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question, we note that a parallelogram is a four sided polygon having two opposite parallel sides.

Therefore in this question, we select our parallelogram to be a rectangle

Number of pieces of parallelogram in a quilted block = 8

Number of parallelogram in each quadrant of the quilted block = 2

Therefore the height of the rectangle = 2 × the base = 2× $3\frac{3}{4}$ = 7.5 inches

Therefore the area of each parallelogram = base × height

= $\frac{15}{4}*\frac{15}{2}$ = $\frac{225}{8}$ in²

since each quilted block uses 8 parallelogram, then the amount of fabric for each quilted block is

$\frac{225}{8} *8 = 225 in^2$

Hence 24 blocks wil require 24×225 in² = 5400 in²

However, since 144 in² = 1 ft² we have

5400 in² = 5400 in²× 1/144 ft²/in² = 37.5 ft².

Graph the function Is it a, b, c or d?

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(the line is a / shape, so the slope is positive)

(the line crosses the y axis at (0,-2))

(using the above information, we can conclude that the equation is y=2x-2)

slope = m = rise/run = 2/1 = 2

y=mx+b

y=2x+b

Choose any point on the line) (1,0)

0=2(1)+b

b=-2

y=2x-2
