To get this, take 0.10 x 145 = 14.5
Answer:
a = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
2(a-7)=a+4
Distribute 2 into left side: 2a -14 = a + 4
subtract a from both sides 2a-a-14 = a+4-a
Simplify: a - 14 = 4
Add 14 to both sides: a - 14 + 14 = 4 +14
Simplify: a = 18
If wanted, plug a into original to double check work:
plug in: 2 (18-7) = 18+4
do parenthesis first: 2 (11) = 18+4
do multiplication : 22 = 18+4
additions: 22 =22
a = 18 is correct.
Bulletin boards can be in all shapes and sizes. There is no correct or incorrect answer to this problem.
Here, we can set up a proportion:
34 ÷ 3/4 = ? ÷ 1
34*1 = 34
34÷3/4 = the time needed to build one toyboat
34/3/4 = 45.3333333333
45.3 repeating is not a whole number, so we need to approximate.
45 is the closest whole number,
So.. a machine can paint 45 toy boats per hour.
I really hope that helped! :)
