Answer:
a = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
you can solve this proportion by cross-multiplying:
4(a + 9) = -1(a + 4)
now distribute to eliminate parentheses
4a + 36 = -1a - 4
5a + 36 = -4
5a = -40
a = -8
Answer:
I don't know what inductive reasoning is but, the next two numbers in the pattern are -243 and +729
Step-by-step explanation:
each number is being multiplied by a factor of (-3).
Answer:
D. Lines coincide
Step-by-step explanation:
On dividing y/2y and 4/8 and x/2x you get 1/2. Since 1/2 is common answer for all the parts, lines will coincide.
Step-by-step explanation:
-7(1+3x) = 4 + 5x
-7 - 21x = 4 + 5x
(get all the variables on one side. Don't forget to change the signs)
-7-4 = 5x + 21x
-11 = 26x
(divide both sides by the coefficient [26])
26x/26= -11/26
x = -11/26
