Answer:

a=8

Step-by-step explanation:

If we're using the distributive property, we should  first open parentheses by multiplying -5*a and -5*3

-5*a= -5a

-5*3= -15

Now, we have the equation: -5a-15= -55

Add fifteen to both side:

-5a= -40

a=8

Answer:

a = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(a + 3) = - 55

- 5a - 15 = - 55

55 - 15 = 5a

5a = 40

a = 40 : 5

a = 8

Nadya [2.5K]
Using the data for each truck lets calculate, 

median for truck 1 - 511.5
median for truck 2 - 650.5

lets consider each statement 
A.medians for both trucks are the same - wrong 
median for 1 and 2 are 511.5 and 650.5 respectively 

B. the two trucks sold most number of tacos on 3rd day 
truck 1 sold 437 on day 3 but highest number it sold was 721 on day 1
truck 2 sold 426 on day 3 but highest number was 732 on day 6
therefore this statement too is wrong 

C.
truck 1 - range between maximum(721) and minimum(425) = 296
truck 2 - maximum (732) and minimum (426) difference = 306
the range between maximum and minimum in truck 2 is 306 thats greater than range between maximum and minimum in truck 1, that's 296
therefore this statement is correct

D.
total number of tacos for each truck - 
truck 1 - 5291
truck 2 - 6107
food truck 1 sold less than truck 2 therefore this statement too is wrong
