Answer:

a = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

-5a-9+a=15

Combine like terms

-5a+a -9 = 15

-4a -9 = 15

Add 9 to each side

-4a -9+9 = 15+9

-4a = 24

Divide by -4

-4a/-4 = 24/-4

a = -6

Answer:

a = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Combine like terms: -4a – 9 = 15

2. Use the additive property of equality to add 9 to both sides: -4a = 24

3. Use division property of equality to divide -4 on both sides: a = -6

What value ofx is in the solution set of 3(x-4)>5x +2?

kvv77 [185]

$\boldsymbol{\sf{3(x-4) > 5x +2 }}$

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x−4.

$\boldsymbol{\sf{3x-12 > 5x+2 }}$

Subtract 5x on both sides.

$\boldsymbol{\sf{3x-12-5x > 2 } }$

Combine 3x and −5x to get −2x.

$\boldsymbol{\sf{-2x-12 > 2 }}$

Add 12 to both sides.

$\boldsymbol{\sf{-2x > 2+12 \ \longmapsto \ \ [Add \ 2 +12]}}$

$\boldsymbol{\sf{-2x > 14}}$

Divide both sides by −2. Since −2 is < 0, the inequality direction is changed.

$\boldsymbol{\sf{x < \dfrac{14}{-2} \ \ \longmapsto \ \ \ [Split]}}$

$\boxed{\boldsymbol{\sf{x < -7 }}}$

So in the <u>inequality 3(x-4)>5x +2</u>, the value of x is -7.

What is y=-x+6?........

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Slope = -2/2 = -1

x-intercept = 6/1 = 6

y-intercept = 6/1 = 6

I wasn't sure what you really were asking for, so I did slope, x, and y.

over the past ten years, the town's population doubled in size. the population is currently 12,000. what was the population ten

IceJOKER [234]

The population ten years ago was 6,000.

Because the population doubled you divide 12,000 by 2

12,000 / 2 = 6,000
