Answer:
a = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
-5⁄2 a + 5 = 25
Subtract 5 from each side
-5⁄2 a + 5-5 = 25-5
-5/2 a = 20
Multiply each side by -2/5 to isolate a
-2/5 * -5/2 a = -2/5 *20
a = -8
Answer:
Brooooo im stuck on the same one.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer is A.
step 1 , 16 was not multiplied by 9
should be
54x - 9y = 144
20 percent
If you cross multiply 30 w/ 100 and then divide it by 150 you will get 20.
The answer would be x ≠ 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First start with the left side, doing distributive property
So... -2(x) = -2x and -2(5) = -10 Therefore on the left side you now have -2x -10
Next do the same on the right side
-2(x) = - 2x and -2(-2) = 4 so you have -2x + 4 + 5 and you add 4 and 5, leaving you with -2x + 9
Now that you have simplified both sides the problem now looks like this:
-2x - 10 = -2x + 9
Because you have equal terms on both sides (-2) those cancel out so you have -10 = 9
Just from looking at this we know that the statement is false because -1o does not equal 9
*The symbol, "≠" means not equal to"
