Answer:

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides:

5a + 8 + (-2a) = -7

(5a + -2a) + 8 = -7

3a + 8 = -7

Start solving for a by subtracting 8 from both sides

3a+8-8 = -7 - 8

3a = -15

Next, divide both sides by 3

3a/3 = 1

-15/3 = -5

a = -5

Answer:

5a+8+(-2a)=-7

5a+8-2a=-7

5a-2a=-7-8

3a=-15

3a/3=-15/3

a=-5

Two numbers total 63 and have a difference of 31. Find the two numbers
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: 47 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

- Make Two Equations

x + y = 63

x - y = 31

- Set one of the equations equal to one of the variables

x + y = 63

x = 31 + y

- Substitute the equation back into the other one

(31 + y) + y = 63

31 + 2y = 63

2y = 32

y = 16

- Substitute the answer back into the equation

x + y = 63

x + 16 = 63

x = 47

Given the two expressions shown below:
kobusy [5.1K]
<h2>Answer: A. Both are rational.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Although both expressions have square roots, the result of each square root is an integer, which can be expressed as a fraction.

In this sense:

Rational numbers are all numbers that can be represented as the quotient (division) of two integer numbers. This means they can be represented as a fraction in which the denominator is nonzero.

If we solve both expressions, we will be able to see that the result is an integer that can be expressed as a fraction with two integers:

\sqrt{4} + \sqrt{25}=2 + 5= 7 The result is an integer

7=\frac{7}{1}

\sqrt{4} + \sqrt{9}= 2 + 3=5 The result is an integer

5=\frac{5}{1}
