-6(2+a) = -48
Distributive property
-12 -6a = -48
Add 12 to both sides
-6a = -36
Divide both sides by -6 and you get a= 6

Answer with explanation:

The given equality or expression in one variable is,

⇒  -6×(2+a)= -48

⇒ -6×(2+a)= -6× 8

Dividing both sides by , -6 we get

⇒ 2+a=8

Subtracting , 2 from both sides

⇒2+a-2=8-2

⇒a=6

For this case we propose a system of equations:

x: Variable representing the weight of large boxes

y: Variable that represents the weight of the small boxes

So

x + y = 80\\55x + 70y = 4850

We clear x from the first equation:

x = 80-y

We substitute in the second equation:

55 (80-y) + 70y = 4850\\4400-55y + 70y = 4850\\15y = 450\\y = 30

We look for the value of x:

x = 80-30\\x = 50

Large boxes weigh 50 pounds and small boxes weigh 30 pounds

Answer:

Large boxes weigh 50 pounds and small boxes weigh 30 pounds

Hey, there! For this question, we can just start by plugging in the known values. (f + g)(x) can be rewritten as (\frac{x}{2} - 3 + 3x^2 + x - 6)(x).

Combine like terms: (\frac{x}{2} + x - 3 - 6 + 3x^2)(x)

If you add x to \frac{x}{2}, x will become \frac{2x}{2}, which means that x/2 + x = 3/2x.

--> (\frac{3}{2}x - 9 + 3x^2)(x)

If you rearrange this, then your answer will be option b. Hope this helps.
