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

Calculate annually compounded interest
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

$2,851.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use the compound interest formula to solve:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

<em>P = initial balance</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>

<em>t = time</em>

First, change 1.1% into a decimal:

1.1% -> \frac{1.1}{100} -> 0.011

Next, plug the values into the equation:

A=2,700(1+\frac{0.011}{1})^{1(5)}

A=2,851.80

She will have $2,851.80 after 5 years.

Simplify the given expression. (18+ - 8)2​
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Our expression:

2 * (18 + - 8)

Plus then minus (+ -) is the same as just minus ( - )

Some examples:

1 + (+ 1) = 2

1 + (- 1) = 0

1 - (+ 1) = 0

1 - (- 1) = 2

Thus, 18 + - 8 is the same as 18 - 8

2 * (18 + - 8) =

= 2 * (18 - 8) =

= 2* (10) =

= 2 * 10 =

= 20

The Empire State Building weighs about 7.3×108pounds. The One World Trade Center building weighs about 88,200,000 pounds. What i
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

8.182X10^8 $pounds

a=8.182 and b=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of the Empire State Building =7.3X 10^8 pounds.

Weight of the One World Trade Center building= 88,200,000 pounds.

=8.82 X 10^7

The addition of the two:

=7.3X 10^8+8.82 X 10^7\\$To make it easier to add, express both as powers of 8\\=7.3X 10^8+0.882 X 10^8\\=(7.3+0.882)X10^8\\=8.182X10^8 $ pounds

Comparing with the form: aX10^b

a=8.182 and b=8

Pleeeeeease help me soon
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The first amount is larger by 25%  or .25a

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets increase a by 50%

The increase is .5a

So the new value is a + .5a = 1.5a

Now we will decrease the new value by 50%

decrease = .5 (1.5a) = .75a

The new value of a is 1.5a - .75a = .75a

a > .75a

a - .75a = .25a

a is bigger than .75a by .25a
