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

Simplify the following expression:
Phantasy [73]
\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{5}{2} }

To begin, we can simplify the expression's denominator by finding a common denominator between the denominators of the fractions in the denominator.  To make them compatible, we can convert \frac{5}{2} into \frac{10}{4}:

\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{5}{2}( \frac{2}{2}) } = \frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{10}{4} }

Next, we can simplify:

\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{10}{4} } = \frac{4}{ -\frac{9}{4}}

Finally, to cancel the denominator within the denominator, we can multiply the whole expression by \frac{4}{4}, or 1:

\frac{4}{ -\frac{9}{4}}* \frac{4}{4} =  -\frac{16}{9}

The expression simplifies to -\frac{16}{9}, or -1 \frac{7}{9} as a mixed number.

Math question! I appreciate any help!
saw5 [17]
Lateral faces are all the sides of the prisms EXCEPT the bases, which are the sides on the top and bottom. To find the area of the lateral faces we can use the formula: perimeter x height.

perimeter = 2 (6 + 8) = 2 x 14 = 28
height = 14
area of the lateral faces = perimeter x height = 28 x 14 = 392

Hope this helps!

Can someone help me with this please

<h3>Answer:  4</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

For now, ignore the variables. Let's just focus on the coefficients 12 and 16.

The GCF of 12 and 16 is 4 because this is the largest factor they have in common.

12 = 4*3

16 = 4*4

You could create a factor tree to get the prime factorization of each number

12 = 2*2*3

16 = 2*2*2*2

Each factor tree has two copies of '2' leading to the GCF 2*2 = 4.

--------

Now let's go back to the variables. The term 12n and 16w^3 do not have any variables in common. So the final answer won't have any variables in it. If both terms had say a 'w' in them, then w would somehow be involved in the GCF. But that's not the case here. So we just stick to 4 as our answer.

--------

Side note: If you had 12n+16w^3 and you wanted to factor, then you would factor out the GCF 4 to get 12n+16w^3 = 4(3n+4w^3). Use the distribution rule to confirm this.
