Simplifying
8a + 12b = 92
Solving
8a + 12b = 92
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-12b' to each side of the equation.
8a + 12b + -12b = 92 + -12b
Combine like terms: 12b + -12b = 0
8a + 0 = 92 + -12b
8a = 92 + -12b
Divide each side by '8'.
a = 11.5 + -1.5b
Simplifying
a = 11.5 + -1.5b
Answer:
1/8 of the budget was left for other expenses.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 of the budget - buildings and maintenance.
Administrative personnel : 1/4 + 1/8 = 2/8 + 1/8 = 3/8 of the budget.
Therefore:
3/8 of the budget - administrative personnel.
Public safety : 3/8 - 1/8 = 2/8 = 1/4 of the budget.
For other expenses :
1 - ( 1/4 + 3/8 + 1/4 ) = 1 - ( 2/8 + 3/8 + 2/8 ) 1 - 7/8 = 1/8
Finally, 1/8 of the total budget was for the other expenses.
Answer:
48a^7 b^5 (I hope I got this right, it has been awhile since I've done equations like these)
Step-by-step explanation:
(-4a^3 b^2)^2 × (3a^2 b)
16a^5 b^4 × 3a^2 b
48a^7 b^5
